The Sainte-Chaplle is a royal chapel in Île de la Cité, Paris. It was completed in 1248. The lower area was for the workers of the palace, while the upper area was for King Louis IX's most valuable relics. [2] Though, the rood screen, furniture, stalls, reliquaries, boxes, and all the regalia being stored in the Chapelle were destroyed during the French Revolution. The only relic that survived was the Crown of Thorns. [3]
