A pinnacle of Rayonnant Gothic architecture on the Île de la Cité, consecrated in 1248. King Louis IX commissioned the two-story royal chapel as a monumental reliquary to enshrine Christ's Crown of Thorns. In the upper chapel, stone walls almost disappear into jewel-toned light pouring through fifteen 15-metre-high stained glass windows depicting 1,113 biblical scenes, crowned by a flamboyant western rose window of the Apocalypse.
Highlights
- 15 soaring 13th-century stained-glass lancet windows
- Masterpiece of Rayonnant Gothic built by King Louis IX
- Flamboyant western rose window illustrating the Apocalypse
