The world's largest cathedral is the Gothic church of the Diocese of New York, St John the Divine, with a floor area of 11,240 m² (120,986 ft²), equivalent to 43 tennis courts. The nave - the long central part of the church - is the longest in the world at 183.2 m (601 ft) (Notre Dame de Paris, arguably the world's most famous cathedral, is 130 m or 427 ft long). The vaulted (arched) roof is 37.8 m (124 ft), around 10 storeys, above floor level. The cornerstone was laid on 27 December 1892 but incredibly, the building is only two-thirds complete.
The internal volume is 476,350 m³ (16,822,000 ft³).
The Cathedral is Anglican.
