What is the name of the circular window at Notre-Dame de Paris’s north transept?
Answer
North Rose Window
Answer
North Rose Window
The circular window at Notre-Dame de Paris’s north transept is called the North Rose Window. It is one of the cathedral’s three principal rose windows, alongside the south rose and west rose.
The north rose was installed during the 13th century and is especially associated with the Virgin Mary. Its composition uses radiating tracery and richly colored medieval glass to organize a large circular opening in the Gothic transept façade.
The question identifies the window by location because Notre-Dame has several rose windows. The north and south roses are transept windows, while the west rose is located in the main façade. They should not be counted as one single rose window.
