Portal of the Last Judgement in the cathedral

Façade de la cathédrale de Laon
Credit : OT Pays de Laon

Description

he portals of the cathedral are striking, aren't they? The grandiose impression is heightened by the size of the forecourt, which is quite small, so it's as if you're standing at the foot of Notre-Dame!
What's more, the right-hand portal depicts the Last Judgement, a theme taken up by many Gothic buildings (whether in Paris, Chartres or Bourges).

By the way, look up and admire the two gargoyles on the façade: yes, they are a hippopotamus and a rhinoceros, you're not dreaming. However, they don't date back to the Middle Ages, but were added in the 19th century...
