# Exterior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ARCHITECT, French]() - Date: 1151-1200 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary The little cathedral of Senlis, to the north of Paris, was begun in the early 1130s. Its style clearly shows the influence of the innovations at Saint-Denis. Though the interior, which has been rebuilt several times after gutted by fire, is now overwhelmingly in the Late Gothic style, the building still possesses its original ambulatory and choir with monolithic columns and radiating chapels. Although this cathedral was constructed in one stage, its creators did not take the opportunity to build a façade stylistically matching the choir. Instead they built a copy of the west façade of Saint-Denis. The photo shows the south side of the cathedral.
