Guildford cathedral : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guildford_Cathedral

Started building in 1936, finished in 1965. Small matter of WW2 in the way mind...

I don't believe many of the great cathedrals and historic public buildings of the world would have a full blown sprinkler system in them.

Because the cathedral of Notre Dame is of such significance, the money to rebuild will be found. The skilled craftspeople will be found. It won't be overnight or even a couple of years. But Notre Dame will be rebuilt in due course.
