Be dazzled by the 1,113 stained glass windows of this resplendent jewel of Gothic art.
In the middle of the 13th century, Louis IX ordered the construction of the Holy Chapel in the heart of his Parisian residence, the City Palace. Considered a monumental reliquary, at that time it housed the Crown of Thorns of Christ. Decorated with an exclusive set of fifteen stained glass windows and a rose, forming veritable walls of light, the Holy Chapel is the resplendent jewel of French Gothic art. Inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage.
