Day Six Pictures - Strausbourg, France

The city government building - it has changed hands between France and Germany many times.


This was the official headquarters of the Jacobites.


The roof contains many small windows in the attic.  This area was used for a living area in the times of the plague to provide a bit of space between the residents of the building and the chaos of the streets.


Strasbourg Cathedral - view of the front


The doors of the cathedral are only partially used today.  As you can see, the red portion of the door is no longer in use.


Details around the doors of the cathedral


Interior of Strasbourg Cathedral


The clock that I previously described with the many measurements of time




Stained glass windows with freat detail


The left side of the cathedral was added to until the 1800s








William in the front of the cathedral.  On the way home on the plane, we watched Sherlock Holmes 2 and William immediately noticed that this is the same view as the opening scene of the movie when the cathedral is "blown up" in an effort to start another war between Germany and France.
