 cathedral, church, UNESCO World Heritage Site
The cathedral at Bourges (late 12th - late 13th century) presents an architectural unity rarely seen in other great medieval churches, having been designed and built as a whole rather than in stages over many centuries. With no transept, it lacks the typical cross-shaped floor plan found in more mainstream examples of the French Gothic. UNESCO added the cathedral to its list of World Heritage Sites in 1992, recognizing it as "one of the great masterpieces of Gothic art."
