Sainte-Chapelle

Consecrated in 1248, it is considered one of the most important masterpieces of architecture in the entire world.

Today, these pieces are among the treasures kept at the Notre-Dame Cathedral, as during the French Revolution Sainte-Chapelle was attacked and nearly destroyed.

It also suffered two fires in 1630 and 1776, and later the stained glass windows of the lower chapel were devastated by a flood of the Seine in 1690.

What to See at Sainte-Chapelle

The church showcases an exquisite example of 13th-century ornamental stained glass windows and finely crafted sculptures.

It is located next to The Conciergerie and although it is not known with certainty who the architect responsible for this marvel was, it is believed to have been Pierre de Montreuil, creator of Notre-Dame and the Abbey and Basilica of Saint-Denis.

Several sacred music concerts are held throughout the year inside. Highly recommended.

You can also visit the Basilica of the Sacred Heart or Sacré-Cœur in the neighborhood of Paris known as Montmartre.
