| That's a big window! |
By the 13th century, nearly EVERYONE in Europe was on the Gothic kick. Windows are big and long with pointed tops. These windows got so big that they needed extra stone support called tracery! These supports were all different shapes and also added cool decoration to the buildings (like they needed it).

| Got spires? I think they needed just a few more... |
The height of these windows was especially fitting for the height of the beautiful Gothic buildings- the higher the building, the closer to heaven! That should have been their motto...
Spires and towers added even more height to these magnificent structures.
