The southern rosette also suffered much damage - only some of the stained glass originates back to the Middle Ages. French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc restored the rest in 1861.

The first damage to the rosette occurred in 1543 when it suffered from the subsidence of the building's walls. This damage was not repaired until the 1820s. More damage came during the French Revolution of 1830 when a mob knocked out many of the stained glass windows and burned the archbishop's residence adjacent to the cathedral.
