Tips

Wolf Beyenburg

August 5, 2024

The cathedral beckons. Curious, you want to rush into the interior, but the entrance is worth slowing down. The huge portal rises high into the sky. There are no religious figurines here: one wonders whether this is a financial consequence of the failed construction of the tower of Beauvais or whether the iconoclastic French Revolution has struck. Instead, the tendrils hide many mythical creatures and monsters worth seeing, waiting to be discovered. A somewhat threatening fairy-tale world. Behind them are the enormous carved doors, which are unparalleled with their sculptural Gothic scenes. And finally, Peter himself welcomes you into the church. You know him: an image of the famous statue in St. Peter's Basilica, which illustrates the claim of the cathedral's builders: Amiens was supposed to have the largest church in France, but unfortunately the over-high vaults and the world's highest over-high tower collapsed and inside, massive wooden struts hold up the fragile statics. A Gothic Babel. But the cathedral also holds the record as a torso: the highest vaults are 48.5 metres high.
