It looks like the Hunchback of Notre Dame will finally have a place to call home again. French officials have announced that the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is on track to reopen to visitors and worshippers at the end of 2024, less than six years after a structural fire broke out through the roof.

Authorities decided to restore the 12th-century Gothic architectural wonder to its original state, which includes reconstructing the 315-foot-tall spire added by architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century. A new version of which will appear above the monument this year. 

At the same time, “Notre-Dame de Paris: at the heart of the construction site” exhibition is set to launch today in an underground facility; located in front of the cathedral. Admission will be free to the public and will showcase the ongoing construction efforts, as well as the workers’ incredible talent and expertise. The exhibition will also feature some remains from the fire and a few pieces of the cathedral’s art.

Philippe Jost, managing director of the government agency overseeing the reconstruction, emphasized that the result “will be faithful to the original architecture” because “we are sticking to the vanished shapes of the cathedral” and “we are also sticking to the materials and construction methods” of medieval times.

Anticipated to boost tourism in Paris, the cathedral’s reopening is a much-awaited event. Despite being closed for so long, some renovation work will continue into 2025. If you plan on visiting the city of love anytime soon, be sure to also check out these five must-see attractions.
