own an original stone from the facade of the notre-dame cathedral in paris
Briefly

The Notre-Dame de Paris is raffling off around fifty original stones from its facade to raise funds for preserving religious heritage sites. These stones, deemed too damaged for reintegration after the 2019 fire, symbolize the cathedral's resilience. Entry requires a €40 donation, with the draw scheduled for April 15, 2025, six years post-fire. The initiative aims to preserve not just Notre-Dame, but also addresses the urgent restoration needs of approximately 5,000 out of 50,000 religious sites in France, supported by the Fondation du Patrimoine.
The Notre-Dame de Paris is offering a unique opportunity for history enthusiasts and preservation supporters - the chance to own a piece of the iconic monument.
As part of a fundraising campaign, around fifty original stones from the cathedral's historic facade are being raffled to support the restoration of endangered religious heritage sites.
