'Fire damage' Notre Dame Cathedral reopens on July 7 after more than five years of restoration

Notre Dame Cathedral, a landmark in Paris, France that burned in April 2019, will reopen after five years and eight months of restoration.

Notre Dame Cathedral will hold a reopening ceremony on the evening of the 7th local time, attended by French President Emmanuel Macron and domestic and foreign guests, and hold a mass attended by ordinary believers from the following day.

The restoration project of Notre Dame Cathedral, which took more than five years, cost 700 million euros and 1 trillion won in our money, and has sent over 840 million euros in donations from 150 countries.

The 861-year-old Notre Dame Cathedral caught fire during renovations in April 2019, toppling its spire and destroying most of its wooden roof.
