The world-famous Cathedral of Our Lady in Dresden was rebuilt 59 years after it was bombed. On October 30, 2005, Dresden held a large-scale "Inauguration of the Reconstruction of the Cathedral of Our Lady", including representatives of the British royal family More than 100,000 people including dignitaries attended the event. The Notre Dame Cathedral in Dresden was built in 1726. It was designed and built by carpenter Olger Bell and took 17 years to complete. The Notre Dame Cathedral is 95 meters high, huge in scale, exquisite and gorgeous. It is a representative work of Western new church architecture, a landmark building in this ancient city, and a more beautiful scenery in Dresden. At the end of World War II, the Cathedral of Notre Dame was reduced to ruins under the bombing of the British and American air forces, leaving only a 13-meter-high wall. This is the eternal pain that the war brought to the people of Dresden. After the reunification of Germany, with the support of donations from Britain and the United States and other countries, Germany decided to rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral. Since 1994, the reconstruction work took 11 years and cost 179 million euros. The reconstructed church was basically built as it was, and many relics were carefully preserved and became part of the church's construction materials.
