Église Sainte-Chapelle
The devout King Louis IX founded the Gothic Sainte-Chapelle
as a chapel for the royal palace and to house sacred relics.
It is reported that he spent three times
the cost of the chapel's construction
for the "Crown of Thorns."
Built in 1246, it also provided easy underground access
to the royal palace. Almost all of the precious relics
were lost or destroyed during the French Revolution.
