Notre-Dame de Paris is a Gothic architectural masterpiece built in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is renowned for its flying buttresses, stained-glass windows and sculptures. The 2019 fire severely damaged its roof, spire and wooden framework, prompting large-scale restoration efforts. This tragedy highlighted the importance of digital documentation in preserving heritage. After years of reconstruction, Notre-Dame is set to reopen to the public in December 2024. Notre-Dame's restoration utilizes a digital twin framework, integrating 3D modeling, reverse engineering and spatio-temporal tracking to reconstruct its architecture with precision (Gros et al., 2023). Additionally, acoustic digital twins have been developed to simulate the cathedral’s sound environment, preserving its historical acoustics and enhancing immersive experiences for the public (Katz et al., 2024). These digital tools support both conservation and educational efforts, ensuring authenticity while increasing accessibility.
