Don't take my word for it. Visitors to Britain just like you voted York Minster one of the Seven Wonders of Britain in 2002. More than 250 years in the building, York Minster is the biggest Gothic Cathedral in Northern Europe. The stained glass window on the East Front is as big as a tennis court - the biggest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world.

Of course, size isn't everything. York Minster is also very beautiful. Take another look at York Minster to see for yourself.
