Cathedral of Notre Duck

The Cathedral of Notre Duck, also known as Notre Duck, is the cathedral of Duckburg. It's one of the most visited and also one of the most mysterious buildings in the city. It first appeared in the comic The Phantom of Notre Duck (1965) by Carl Barks and has since been depicted in five other Donald Duck comics.
==Description==
The sacred building in High Gothic style is located in the center of Duckburg in the middle of a park-like open space. There are several theories about their origin. Some fans believe it was built as part of a monastery complex in the early 16th century. Alternatively, it is assumed that it was constructed much later in the Gothic Revival style at the end of the 19th century (a time when the Gothic style was popular again and other unfinished buildings from the late Gothic period, such as the Cologne Cathedral, were completed and new buildings in Gothic style, such as the Palace of Westminster, were constructed). 
Some even suspect that it was built at a later date during the Duckburg World Exhibition. Little is known about the construction of the cathedral, one can only see a complete exterior view and some interior views, including only one of the nave. It has been proven to have seven towers and the unusual placement of the bells in the central crossing tower. The German version says that the cathedral is as big as St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna (136.7 m / 448 ft.), "just not quite as beautiful".
At the entrance of Notre Duck, a wishing well is located. A rock tower that is decorated with five golden duck statues holding amphoras is standing in the well's centre. It is said that an object immersed there remains intact forever. The well was likely inspired by the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy.
Another known decoration is a ceiling fresco depicting a knight slaying a green dragon.
Additionally, the Notre Duck is inhabited by the Phantom of Notre Duck, a mysterious duck-like being dressed completely in black who steals the money thrown in the wishing well to finally afford to complete the cathedral's construction, a goal that it could not achieve in its lifetime. In the Italian story Notre Duck, set in the 1920s, the Phantom as revealed as being Henry Quackett, the brother of John Quackett. It is not known if this is also the identity of the Phantom in The Phantom of Notre Duck.
==Trivia==
*The ceiling fresco probably is a depiction of Saint George and the Dragon.
