Bourges - Cathédrale Saint-Étienne
The "Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Bourges" was erected as a replacement for an 11th-century structure. The construction started probably in the last quarter of the 12th century, around the same time when the builders and bricklayers started in Chartres. The choir of the cathedral was in use by 1214, the nave was finished 1255. The cathedral was consecrated in 1324.
The cathedral covers a surface of 5,900 m². The nave is 15 metres wide and 37 metres high, the inner aisle is 21.3 metres high. There are no transepts, but two aisles on either side forming a double ambulatory around the choir.
The cathedral retains many of its original stained-glass windows, which dates from about 1215.
This window depicts the parable of the "Good Samaritan" and has to be "read" from top to bottom. On the sides are scenes from the old testament (eg Adam and Eve).
Note the small icons on sides of the very bottom. Small men riding geese? Maybe the ancestors of Nils Holgersson.
