Where was Gothic art developed in the 12th century?

In the 12th century, Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis, a counselor to the French kings, spearheaded the reconstruction of the Basilica of Saint-Denis. He believed that light was a manifestation of the divine and sought to create transcendent spaces filled with light in the church. Suger's reconstruction introduced key elements of Gothic architecture: pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. These innovations allowed for taller, lighter structures with large stained-glass windows, replacing the heavier, darker Romanesque style. The Basilica of Saint-Denis became a prototype for other buildings in the royal domain and beyond, including Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The style spread throughout France and then Europe.

bigden, Yeah! they look so majestic! but I don't know if it looks so good on the inside a lot of the times they be looking not like churches on the outside and sometimes definitely not in the inside sometimes they look like where a person would die! than pray to God!

I've not been to France

Gothic churches are so cool looking.

tex, The term Gothic was used by Renaissance Italians to mean barbaric. Meaning that it came from the north and was unlike the classical style.

I thought all the while that Gothic Architecture was developed by the Goths of Germany.
