YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe great cathedral boom of medieval Europe came to a sudden halt in the early 1300s.
Builders literally downed their tools mid-project—and many cathedrals remain unfinished to this day.
What happened? The Little Ice Age. A sharp climate shift brought famine, failed harvests, and soon after, the Black Plague, wiping out much of Europe’s population.
The end of cathedral building wasn’t artistic choice—it was survival.
