Notre Dame Replica

[bizarre_basilica1.jpg]

Covington, Kentucky

This church is "tiny" only compared to the one that inspired it -- it's a one-third scale replica of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris! Constructed between 1894 and 1915, the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption is an operating Roman Catholic house of worship. The basilica also contains one of the largest stained-glass windows in the world. Below is a photo of the rear of the basilica.
