During its construction beginning in the 12th century, builders used iron staples to support Notre Dame's masonry.
In 2019, a fire broke out inside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, severely damaging the iconic medieval building. However, the catastrophic fire gave researchers an opportunity to study the building's architecture like never before.
"This is the first building of its kind in which we see this," lead author Maxime L'Héritier , a professor in the Department of History at Paris 8 University, told Live Science."This shows [that the builders] at the time were trying to experiment with new forms of construction." "When we studied other Gothic churches of that time period, none used iron in their construction," L'Héritier said."We believe that the staples were what enabled them to build this structure at such a terrific height."
