The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was completely extinguished on Tuesday after burning for more than nine hours.
There was widespread relief that many of the cathedral’s most precious artworks and relics were saved despite such severe damage.
The Paris Fire Service said nearly 400 firefighters had battled the inferno.
No official cause has been announced, but officials say the fire can be linked to renovation work that was underway at the time.
French President Emmanuel Macron vowed that France will rebuild the cathedral together in the years to come.
Two French billionaires in the fashion industry have already pledged nearly 340 million dollars for that purpose.
