Flèche de la cathédrale d'Amiens, Gothic cathedral spire in Amiens, France
The spire of Amiens Cathedral reaches 112 meters in height, standing atop the transept crossing of this medieval religious structure.
Built in 1533, the current spire replaced the previous structure that was destroyed by lightning in 1528, marking a significant architectural advancement.
The interior framework reveals oak beams crafted by master carpenters, demonstrating the technical expertise of 16th-century French construction methods.
Visitors can access the first external level of the spire, which provides views of the city and the slate-covered cathedral roof.
The central mast consists of multiple oak trunks joined through specific techniques that ensure the structure's long-term stability.
