601 FR - Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Former Abbey of Saint-Remi and Palace of Tau, Reims (1991)

Brief Description

"The outstanding handling of new architectural techniques in the 13th century, and the harmonious marriage of sculptural decoration with architecture, has made Notre-Dame in Reims one of the masterpieces of Gothic art. The former abbey still has its beautiful 9th-century nave, in which lie the remains of Archbishop St Rémi (440–533), who instituted the Holy Anointing of the kings of France. The former archiepiscopal palace known as the Tau Palace, which played an important role in religious ceremonies, was almost entirely rebuilt in the 17th century."

兰斯圣母大教堂、圣雷米修道院和圣安东尼宫殿
"13世纪新建筑工艺的出色应用以及雕像装饰与建筑的完美结合,使兰斯圣母大教堂成了哥特式建筑的杰作之一。修道院保留了9 世纪的精美中殿,供奉着开启了法国国王受洗仪的圣雷米主教(440年至533年)的遗体。曾经在宗教仪式中具有举足轻重作用的前大主教宫殿——圣安东尼 宫,已于17世纪进行了彻底重修。"
