Interesting - all of them are pointing to what they are holding in their other hand, probably an attribute telling who the saints are. It looks like part of the finger on the one on the left has broken off. The closer you look, the more interesting it gets. I have no idea what the iconography might be.

It is the 50th anniversary of RAGBRAI next year—maybe we’ll finally get the mythical diagonal route? I do owe you a RAGBRAI. I’m in if you are 😊

Of all the big gothic cathedrals, this is my favorite. Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for taking me back.

Hi Suzanne - The bell towers were constructed later and at different times, after the Cathedral was basically finished. The south tower was completed ~1366 and the north tower ~1406. Not sure why they differ in height, but some other differences reflect what was the popular "Gothic Style" at the time they were constructed.

I thought it might have been an oversize prototype of the Iron Throne... 😀

I love it that the bell towers are asymmetrical. I wonder why.

Thanks! I am mostly just familiar with apse, a perennial crossword puzzle favorite.
