 | The factual accuracy of this cross-section is disputed. The interior structure of the framing of the roof is not as it was in 2019 when destroyed by fire (it was cross-braced in a more complex manner, and pitched at 55 degrees, not 45 as shown here). This may therefore show the roof before 19th-century renovations. |
Summary
| Description |
English: Transverse section of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, showing the triangular wooden roof trusses supporting the sheet-lead roof. Below this wooden framing (please note comment on factual accuracy above), the curved masonry vault forms the interior ceiling. Both frames and vault were heavily damaged in the 2019 fire. Dashed lines apparently show 12th-century buttresses (see) |

This file was derived from: Notre Dame 531.jpg . By comparison to published photos (such as this one), the roof truss is grossly oversimplified; the modification, which extrapolated the roof truss, may have added further inaccuracies. |
