CATHEDRALS OF THE OLD AND NEW WORLD

STRASSBURG CATHEDRAL 



This ancient church, which in its present form represents the activities of four centuries, 

 is built of red sandstone. Upon the three noble porches of the fagade is recorded in stone 

 the history of the Creation and Redemption. Among the churches of France, its north 

 tower, rising to a height of 465 feet, is exceeded only by that of Rouen (see page 84).
