Evelyn Edwards Instagram – This amazing staircase in Rouen Cathedral is known as the Book Sellers Staircase. It was built in 1480. The stairs used to lead to the Cathedral library which was situated just above the Flamboyant Gothic arched door. In 1788 another story was built above the library to hold the Cathedral records and the upper flights of stairs were added then.
In 1562, during the start of the Wars of Religion, the library was ransacked. Many of the Cathedal’s tombs, stained glass, and monuments were damaged. | Posted on 30/Jul/2023 15:00:41
