The emblematic piece will be shown in midday on the ground at the door of the Paris bishop, Monseigneur Laurent Ulrich. Accordingly, it will be seen with a crane at the top of the 96 meter high torenspits.
It is a new windmill, designed by the master architect of the historical monuments of Frankrijk, Philippe Villeneuve. The previous fire damaged the fire on April 15, 2019 and the monument was destroyed in Paris.
“Ontroerd”, zo omschreef Philippe Villeneuve deze nieuwe haan “met vleugels van vuur”, die “on eraan remembert dat de cathedraal net als de feniks uit zijn as kan herrijzen”. In the Christendom, the light of the night symbolizes the haan of the Terugkeer. The Hoendervogel is one of the emblems of France, which is part of the tradition of the national football and rugby teams.
The opening of Notre-Dame State was scheduled for December 8, 2024.
