One of the most beautiful cathedrals in York, and the largest in northern Europe. Its medieval stained glass windows and the Five Sister Windows which are over 16 meters tall are a big attraction for tourists. It was constructed in the 14th century and has an attached library and school. The minster has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic Quire and east end and Early English North and South transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world.
