Sainte-Chapelle Ile de la Cite. Paris France
The Sainte-Chapelle was built in 1242 under the orders of King Louis IX of France. It was completed fairly quickly, and was in use by 1248. The structure isn’t a cathedral, and it’s not even really considered to be a church, it’s a chapel!
In fact, Sainte-Chapelle translated to English means Holy Chapel. King Louis IX wanted to have a special royal chapel for himself and the rest of the nobility to worship in.
We visited there in 2016 just after the restoration of the magnificent stained glass windows. We were also lucky enough to attend a chamber music concert there as well.
Thanks to Corunnaroad for this chance to share this location.
