Sainte Chapelle Paris

Category: Paris Church – admin – 7:23 am

Sainte Chapelle is a true masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The church from the 13th century is located a bit hidden at the inner courtyard inside of the palace of justice.

Sainte Chapelle possesses precious relics from the holy land, but the most interesting sight of the church is the impressive effect of the heavenward aspiring glass windows. Those windows create a bright and blue light inside the whole church. An impression of breathtaking dimension.

  1. It’s not a Sainte Chapelle in Cite. It’s a Sainte Chapelle in Vincennes (Metro 1). Shameful that nobody noticed that.
