SAINTE CHAPELLE
An extraordinary pearl of the Gothic style. Sainte Chapelle was built in just 5 years and was intended to
house precious Christian relics, including the crown of Christ, purchased by St. Louis.
Having these sacred relics at his disposal, Sainte Chapelle received huge religious and political influence.
15 stained glass windows, each of which is 15 meters high. Stained-glass windows depict 1113 scenes from
the Old and New Testaments telling the story from the creation of the world until the arrival of sacred
relics in Paris.
