2019 Notre Dame fire-affected Paris cathedral to reopen in 2023 with restored bells and refurbished roof, spire.
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is set to reopen on December 8, 2023, following a five-year restoration after the 2019 fire. Eight restored bells, including one over four tons, will be blessed and hung in the twin towers. These bells, created for the cathedral's 850th anniversary, replace older ones that had become discordant. The roof and spire have been rebuilt, and scaffolding is being removed as the iconic landmark prepares to welcome visitors again.
