After being closed for six years, the cathedral towers are finally open to visitors again.

Admire the cathedral’s roof structure from the terrace located between the two towers.
Finally, discover the magnificent, revolutionary staircase, built for the reopening.
An Impressive Double-Helix Staircase in the South Tower
Carved from solid oak, this 178-step architectural marvel spirals up through the belfry, giving visitors access to Emmanuel—the cathedral’s largest bell—while offering a dramatic view of the restored wooden framework.
At 69 feet high, 12 feet wide, and weighing 20 tons, it’s the largest wooden double-helix staircase in the world. Led by the project’s principal architects, the project required 1,400 hours of design and 9,200 hours of construction, involving 1,200 hand-assembled oak pieces and a team of carpenters, cabinet makers, apprentices, and a master wrought-iron worker.
You can now visit the towers.
