Description: Located in northern France in the city of Beauvais, the Cathedral of Beauvais is approximately 100 miles from the English Channel--close enough for the gale-force winds to threaten the stability of its flying buttresses. The church soars to 47m (154ft) above its floor in the choir vaults, and despite its lack of a tower and nave it is still one of the most daring feats in Gothic architecture.
