Paris offers many attractions and one of the most special of them is the Sainte-Chapelle. This building is truly impressive, and not only because of its size or its exterior, but also because its interior holds true artistic treasures.
The building was built by King Louis in the 13th century and was originally used to keep the relics of French kings. The building has two levels: on the lower level was where the court dignitaries prayed, while on the upper level the relics were placed and functioned as the king's private chapel. The dimensions and decoration of the interior are both quite amazing. It almost feels as if we have fallen into a fairy tale world.
The fabulous stained glass windows of the Sainte-Chapelle
The most special feature of the building is that the colors and patterns of the glass windows are amazingly beautiful. However, they not only provide an aesthetic experience but are also an integral part of the spiritual symbolism represented by the building. Through the windows, the stories of creation and redemption come to life, and heavenly and earthly realities meet.
During your visit, it is definitely worth examining the windows in order to get to know the spirit of the building and the thinking of the time through them. If you love art, architecture and history, Sainte-Chapelle will provide you with a truly special experience.
