Notre-Dame de Paris Restoration Complete
- Notre-Dame reopened on 7 December 2024 (inaugural mass 8 December), five years after the 15 April 2019 fire destroyed much of the roof and the spire[1][2]
- Architectural Record reported that although it reopened, work "won't finally complete until 2028 at the earliest", with scaffolding still on much of the exterior[3]
- Roughly $740 million had been spent with $148 million left for exterior work such as the east-end flying buttresses; almost $900 million was donated[3]
- Viollet-le-Duc's 1859 spire was recreated and the oak roof rebuilt, with the 7,952-pipe organ dismantled and reassembled; special-body head Jean-Louis Georgelin died in 2023 and was succeeded by Philippe Jost, with 250 contractors involved[3]
- Clergy replaced six of Viollet-le-Duc's south-aisle chapel windows with contemporary designs, a controversy[3]

Wikipedia's[1] "Reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris" article confirms the cathedral "reopened on 7 December 2024 following completion of the restoration work," but the retrieved content does not address the pin's separate claim about exterior/flying-buttress work continuing toward a 2030 completion, so it only weakly supports this estimated pin.

Architectural Record reports that while Notre-Dame reopened to the public in December 2024, full restoration of the exterior (scaffolding, flying buttresses, sacristy) will not be complete until 2028 at the earliest, consistent with the pin's later 'restoration complete' event being distinct from the 2024 reopening.

The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
