The interior

The cathedral of Reims is a three-aisled basilica in the tradition of Chartreser schema. Choir and nave created between 1211 and 1233rd The height of the central nave is almost 39 meters, while the internal length is 138 meter. The nave is in the west through the newly invented wonderfully lit tracery windows and the glazed tympanum of the portal zone enables entirely new light conditions. What you see from the outside could hardly is in the interior to be very effective. Also behind the portals of Wimpergen was dissolved in a glass wall, so that an intermediate light band between the two roses arose. This is an early form of a little later developed glazed triforium.

Here we now have a fully developed scheme of the High Gothic style in front of us, in France no longer significantly change: dreizoniger wall construction, four cross-ribbed vaulting and tracery windows.
