I was more awed by Stonehenge than Notre Dame. There's just something mystical about it and it's also much more ancient. Notre Dame was another cool cathedral. It's famous but Europe has many.

Either way sounds like an amazing rebuilding effort with many great passionate craftsman working on it. It goes to show that when we want to we can get stuff done. It's like a hackathon in a big company. Let's take from that and do more great things.

I have the same view. Notre Dame just feels like a big regular church. The Cathedral of Cologne, on the other hand, is just something mesmerizing to me. It's like it belongs to another world/dimension and yet somehow fits with the gloomy sky of Germany.

I loved Köln Cathedral. It's a must see in Germany. Equal to any castle.

150 years ago it was the tallest building in the world.

If you love this one, you should visit Notre Dame de Strasbourg :)

I sort of feel the same way about Stone Henge and I think it’s an exposure thing. It was maybe the tenth or so stop on my tour of ancient megaliths and after Gobekli Tepe, Easter Island, Avebury, the Baalbek stones, etc it just didn’t feel as special.
