Notre-Dame de Paris: Active Church Under Restoration

Notre-Dame Cathedral remains an active Roman Catholic parish. After the devastating fire of April 15, 2019, which destroyed the roof, spire, and significant interior elements, a massive reconstruction effort began. The goal is to fully restore the cathedral by December 2024, in time for the Paris Olympics. Religious services are currently held in nearby churches; once restoration is complete, regular Masses and public visits will resume inside the cathedral.
