Description

York Minster is one of the finest cathedrals of medieval Europe. Built over 250 years, it is the largest of its kind in this region. Magnesian limestone (a creamy-white colored rock) was used for the buildings. The north Transept of the cathedral is famous for its “Five Sisters”. Five elegant lancet windows topped by five smaller gabled lancets. The cathedral’s chapter house is a splendid example of the Gothic Decorated style. The wooden roof is a real beauty and remarkable art of medieval Europe. It has a long tradition of creating wonderful stained glass and has a huge collection of stained glass. York Minster is among the first to have a carillon of bells. This one of the top Gothic cathedrals plays an important role in the history of England.
