Notre Dame’s medieval roof structure, known as 'the forest,' has been lost to the massive fire, according to the rector of the cathedral. The frame featured trees cut down between 1160 and 1170, forming one of the oldest parts of the structure.
. The modern frame is the second frame, and reflects adjustments made early in the cathedral's construction process.
To kick off the project, workers cleared 21 hectares of oak. Each beam of the intricate wooden cross-work was drawn from a different tree: estimated at 13,000 trees in total. To reach the heights the carpenters needed to build the structure, those trees would likely have been 300 or 400 years old, meaning they would have sprouted out of the ground in the eighth or ninth centuries.The beams formed one of the oldest structures in Paris.
