My view is that tons of buildings in Munich that we view as "historic" are mere recreations of the originals that were destroyed in World War 2. Notre Dame will be rebuilt, and it will merely be a part of its long history that it survived the fire. People will always long for how something was before, but unfortunately, that's not life.
- lainga 8y agoThe beautiful old Breton town of Saint-Malo was also rebuilt "historically", but not "exactly" - where they could not find original plans or reuse stones from buildings, they recreated them in a style that they felt was a best approximation of how it had looked before. (That was after the Wehrmacht made a holdout of the town in August 1944, and the Americans dealt with it by expediently bombing 80% of the town to rubble.)
