                                    The Cathedral of Strasbourg or the Cathedral of Our Lady of

                                    Strasbourg (Catherale Notre Dame de Strasbourg), is considered

   to be one of the finest presentations of late Gothic architecture extant.   Until 1880 it was the world’s tallest         building only then topped by the Cologne Cathedral.  Even today, it is the 4th tallest church in the world.  The       stone pulpit is said to be unmatched in its fine stone detail.
