IL Y A 1038 ANS | Hugues Capet est couronné et sacré roi des Francs à Noyon ➽ http://bit.ly/Couronnement-Hugues-Capet Se déroulant le 3 juillet 987, la cérémonie est l'aboutissement pour Hugues Capet de l'habileté politique dont il avait fait preuve face au dernier carolingien. Possédant sur la Loire et sur la Seine, deux places fortes capables d’arrêter les pirates Danois, il était à même d'assurer la tranquillité du royaume, ralliant ainsi le soutien des grands seigneurs qui l'élurent roi des Francs

The Dawn of an Art

The Notre-Dame Cathedral of Noyon (Oise, Hauts-de-France, France).

Built in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, this monument is typical of early Gothic buildings, and therefore has unique features, later abandoned by the builders for future Gothic monuments, such as the presence of apses (spaces in a semicircle) at the end of each branch of the transept.

The cathedral will also experience many damages, like fires, devastations during the Revolution or the Second World War, among others ; making it as a monument often restored, as evidenced by its important lack of ouvraged stained glass windows, nowadays.
