Astronomical Clock in Strasbourg Cathedral
Posted on November 7th, 2010 by steve
‘The cathedral’s south transept houses an 18-metre astronomical clock, one of the largest in the world . . . The astronomical part is unusually accurate; it indicates leap years, equinoxes, and much more astronomical data. Thus it was already much more a complex calculating machine than a bare clock.’
