Notre Dame de la Treille

Rose window by Kijno








































Lille's Cathedral.... more a curiosity than beautiful. Building work began in 1854, but the money ran out halfway through construction. Work began again in the 1990s, with the cathedral finally inaugurated in 1999.

  8. I love stained glass work and this is gorgeous. Places like these literally bring me to my knees. The only churches I have seen like this were in Peru and they just blew me away. Great pictures!
