Built over three centuries, the Cath'edrale primatiale Notre-Dame de l’Assomption de Rouen is a Gothic masterpiece. It was the place where the Dukes of Normandy were traditionally crowned and several are buried in the cathedral, including the heart of Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lion Heart. It also contains the tomb of Rollo, the founder and first ruler of the Viking principality that became known as Normandy. Other famous graves include the tomb of John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford, who is considered responsible for the death of Joan of Arc. The cathedral has the tallest church spire and the oldest recumbent tomb statue in France. Some stained glass windows date from the early-13th century. They have survived fire, a hurricane, lightning strikes, several wars of religion, the French Revolution, and two world wars. The latter is in part due to them being removed to safe storage during WW2, when parts of the building were badly damaged by bombing.
