I wonder what that was _actually_ like given that it took 200 years to build. A lot less pollution so maybe it really did look _all_ shiny and new :-)

As sibling-comment said, no LEDs back then. They probably used soot-billowing torches, 200 years of that means the building must've looked pretty shabby already when done. So the state it currently is in is unrealistic after all.
