Like a Bach fugue, a Gothic cathedral demands all our emotional and intellectual powers . . . .

The exteriors of the Gothic cathedrals of the later twelfth and the early thirteenth century were in perfect harmony with the interiors - at least in the form in which they were planned; for hardly any were executed completely. Few visitors and even few students realize that. Laon is the only one (except for Tournai in Southern Belgium) that can give a true idea of what a French cathedral was intended to look like.
--- Nikolaus Pevsner, from "An Outline of European Architecture"

This is my favorite cathedral, it's even more impressive in real.
The inside is amazing too, and its setting on the top of a hill is amazing too, you can see it from very far.

WESTERN TOWERS

The towers are very light and airy, and the corners are garnished with sculptures of oxen, a tribute to the animals that provided so much labor towards the construction of the church.
