Firemen managed to bring it under control, but the timber frame was severely damaged and many other damages were inflicted. This event led to a complete interior restoration of a cathedral.

From 1508 to 1516 the eastern bay of the south aisle of the nave and its chapel was completed and vaulted; the south transept was begun, finishing most of the upper parts of its western wall by 1519–1520.

The rest of the north transept and the choir, under the direction of St. Felix
Seheult (city architect), were finished between 1840 and 1891, at a time of keen revival of the Catholic faith. The long wait was also due to the fact that the former
