A devastating fire partially destroyed the upper part of Notre-Dame Cathedral on 15 April 2019. The fire caused serious damage, but thanks to the 400 firefighters at the scene, the monument was partly saved.

Following this tragedy, emotional messages of support poured in from all over the world and France immediately swung into action to rebuild the landmark cathedral. The supervision of the restoration has been entrusted to the architect Philippe Villeneuve. The general principle has been to rebuild the cathedral identically, including the spire.
