Commissioned by Louis IX in 1242 to be royal chapel and a repository for the relics of Christ's passion, including the crown of thorns, Sainte-Chapelle is considered today to contain the most beautiful stained glass in all of Europe.

Oh yes, one of my favorite places. I can never describe the feelings I have there. . . . It's great to be reminded. Beautiful photo.
This window takes one's breath away. Its beauty and artistry are beyond words.
Really nice photo!
Sainte-Chapelle is truly worth the price of admission. Also went to a concert there in the lower section.
WOW! That's really impressive!
i love this place. i like to go to hear concerts there and watch the sunlight going down and the changing colors of the stained glass.
Oh how wonderful!
I didn't think any photo could do justice to this stupendous church, but this photo comes close!!
