André Rieu Offers To Help After Fire in The Notre-Dame

Deeply Shocked André Rieu Offers To Help After Fire in The Notre-Dame

"de Limburger Regio," April 16, 2019 - Monday night's great fire in the Notre-Dame is affecting the world. This is also the case with André Rieu, who is offering his help.

The dramatic images of the fire have deeply shocked Rieu. The Maastricht resident announced on Twitter to offer 700 tons of steel for the scaffolding during the restoration of the world-famous Paris cathedral. "The steel was used for the decor of the Schönbrunn Castle in Vienna," Rieu writes in a photograph showing the steel scaffolding.

In recent years, the violinist made a world tour with his full-size replica of the Viennese castle. It is one of the largest sets ever made for a traveling show: 125 meters (410.10 feet)wide, 30 meters (98.42 feet)deep and 35 meters(114.83 feet)high.

The Notre Dame, which is one of the greatest icons in Western Europe's history, caught fire on Monday evening while people from close and far were being consumed by sorrow. The damage to the Notre Dame is great.
