Sainte-Chapelle was built around 1248. This is a Gothic monument and was built by Louis IX to keep his sacred relic collection. "There are 15 separate panels of stained glass with 1,100 different scenes, mostly from the Bible." This place is breath-taking.

The altar held the presumed "crown of thorns". The Notre Dame Treasury now holds his relics.

From the outside you would never know how amazing the stained glass windows are.
