Stock Photo: Sculpted Owl Of Church Of Notre-Dame, Dijon, France

ID 67154450 © 2circles | Megapixl.com

This Church of Notre-Dame in the french city of Dijon is a Roman Catholic church, considered a masterpiece of 13th-century Gothic architecture, situated at the heart of the preserved old centre of Dijon. It is in Place Notre-Dame, near the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy and opposite the rue Musette. On the north side of the church is a chapel bordering on rue de la Chouette (Owl Street), a pedestrian way. A corner of a buttress of this chapel bears a sculpted bird thought to represent an owl. The ornament could possibly be the personal mark of a stonemason. The owl became worn over the centuries because of a superstition that luck would accompany anyone who stroked the bird with their left hand while making a wish.
