The rehabilitation effort has been stunted by one challenge after another — even before the coronavirus pandemic, according to one report.
The Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris went up in flames one year ago Wednesday, devastating one of the world's most remarkable places of worship.
This isn't the first time that the cathedral's restoration has come to a halt. A toxic lead contamination forced delays last summer, then work was stopped again because of high winds during the fall, The Guardian reported. There was some good news: Firefighters prevented flames from reaching the northern belfry, saving historically significant artifacts and sacred items.
