A Gothic Treasure: Chartres Cathedral

Saturday, November 16, 2024 - 08:00 to 20:00

Led by Professors Anna Russakoff & James Ward

AH 3091: The Gothic Cathedral

A remarkable monument built in about 30 years, Chartres Cathedral is a stunning combination of Gothic architecture, sculpture and stained glass. We will look at the entire Cathedral, including the crypt. Chartres Cathedral contains the largest ensemble of medieval stained glass in one place. There is also a unique stained glass museum next door. We will also walk through the charming town to see a Romanesque house, the ‘maison du saumon,’ and several other medieval churches.
