The intricately decorated doors open to the interior space are believed to have been created by demons

. It all started in the 13th century, when Biscornet, a young blacksmith, after persuading the Church was accepted to make hinges and iron decorations for the church door. This work requires intense concentration and the smith must spend months working in the heat of the furnace. Photo: Squarespace
When Biscornet released his work, the people of Paris and the Church were amazed at the extraordinary beauty of the door motifs.



Due to the order of building the church from back to front, the door of Biscornet has become the perfect dot to finish the nearly 200 year construction of Notre Dame Cathedral. Photo: Amyscrypt.
But the trouble with Biscornet starts here. The people of Paris find the motifs too complicated and perfect. At that time, only the work of Biscornet achieved such a level of sophistication with iron material. In the 13th century, when superstitions and magical stories abounded in France, it was immediately rumored that these doors could not be made by humans, and Biscornet sold souls to the devil in exchange for this work of art.

Things are even more inexplicable when the priests claim they cannot open the lock when the door is installed.



They only succeed after sprinkling holy water on it. In addition, a few people at the time said that they visited the blacksmith's workshop during the process, only to find him lying unconscious on the floor, while the work mysteriously finished in a short time. . Photo: Andree Fredette.
As for Biscornet, still insist that he created the work himself, but he could not escape the accusations. The artist passed away indiscriminately a few days later. Biscornet's death at that time only made the French people believe more rumors about him. Photo: A French Fryein Paris.




Nor are metal experts now able to explain how such a work was made up of primitive medieval tools. Some people believe that the motifs are stylized by the number 666, the number of the demon. Photo: A French Fryein Paris.
