Introduction

Notre-Dame Cathedral was built in 1829 and is one of the largest churches in North America, located across from Durham Square. The church is a neo-Gothic building with both interior and exterior, accommodating up to 5,000 people. The tower on the west side features North America's oldest giant clock, which strikes on time every day. The exterior of the church is solemn, while the interior is filled with romantic and luxurious atmosphere. The spacious hall, blue ceiling, representaive of neo-Gothic architecture stained-glass windows and other decorative details are very delicate, displaying the luxury and grandeur of the palace of God. Entering deeper into the church, you can see many small halls, which are not large in size but more luxurious. In addition, there is a religious museum in the church, showing rich religious art and collections of vestments. Among them, the most attractive are those exquisite silverwares. People speak quietly in the church, walking quietly, influencing each other and immersing in its solemn atmosphere.
