Located at the heart of the Île de la Cité in Paris, the Sainte Chapelle is a masterpiece of Gothic Architecture and home to a breathtaking display of stained glass.The Chapel was comissioned by King Louis IX in 1239 in order to house his collection of passion relics, most notably Christ's crown of Thorns. Having been damaged during the French Revolution, the chapel was restored during the nineteenth century and remains one of the greatest collections of in-situ 13th Century stained glass in the world.
