Presentation

In the middle of the 13th century, Louis IX had the Sainte-Chapelle built at the heart of his Parisian residence, the Palais de la Cité.

Designed as a monumental reliquary, it housed Christ's Crown of Thorns. Adorned with a unique set of fifteen stained glass windows and a rose window forming veritable walls of light, the Sainte-Chapelle is the jewel of French Radiant Gothic.
