cultural values
In western Europe the churches and some other public buildings built during the Middle Ages had a distinctive style that was at first called 'gothic' (barbarian) out of contempt by comparison with the standard romanesque style that had prevailed for several centuries. After further developments in architectural style, such a Greek revival (putting up buildings that looked like the Parthenon), churches of the 19th century were built in a 'gothic revival' style which not not genuine but copied the external appearance of the medieval gothic cathedrals. The US has a lot of gothic revival churches and cathedrals.
The Gothic period, spanning from the 12th to the 16th centuries, is marked by significant contributions to architecture, sculpture, and painting. Its most notable architectural innovation is the development of the pointed arch, ribbed vault, and flying buttress, allowing for taller structures and larger stained glass windows that flooded cathedrals with light. This style emphasized verticality and grandeur, exemplified by iconic cathedrals like Notre-Dame and Chartres. Additionally, Gothic art often featured intricate sculptures and illuminated manuscripts, reflecting religious themes and the era's cultural values.
Gothic cathedral architecture was most popular throughout the Middle Ages, a time when the Catholic Church was extremely influential. One trait that these cathedrals did NOT have were rounded arches--a style that is characteristic of Romanesque architecture.

Flying buttresses were added to Gothic Cathedrals to provide more support. Gothic Cathedrals were pretty big, so the wall alone was not always enough to withstand all that pressure.
There were many Gothic Style Cathedrals in the Catholic Church.
