Isn’t it all… stone?

The furnishings and contents may burn, the stained glass may all crack, but pretty sure there’d still be a skeleton of a building standing. Buttresses and all.

Significant portions are stone, but if the fire is that intense, it could weaken the stone/mortar and cause displacement resulting in additional collapses - to say nothing of the collapsing roof might do on the walls and adjacent structures.
