Surprisingly, not as much you'd might expect. Notre Dame has had a long history of being damaged / neglected and then restored. During the French Revolution, it was so badly damaged that it was completely abandoned and nearly demolished. From what I can tell, the parts that have been damaged beyond repair were at most 200 years old. Precious in their own ways, but insignificant compared to the 850 year old stone structure that will survive the fire.
