Cathedrale Saint-Etienne de Bourges
Most impressive Gothic masterpiece.
The mastermind behind this most impressive of Gothic cathedrals is unknown, as is so often the case. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was completed in the 13th century, though further work was required in the 14th and 15th centuries to support both towers when the ground was too weak to support them. It is simple in design but has a huge imposing impact on everyone who visits. It still has much of the original stained glass in the windows.
