Abstract
The article analyzes the value of rebuilding Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, France after it was damaged by fire on April 15, 2019. Topics discussed are ethical, cultural and historical significance of preserving Notre-Dame, the tension between the preservation, rebuilding and experience of an original piece of cultural heritage, authenticity of the replica of the Palaeolithic cave painting "Chauvet," and the need to balance aesthetic demands against contemporary building codes.
