Paris : Sainte-Chapelle

Sainte-Chapelle stained glass
Built in 1248, restored in 2015

The restoration was finished to mark the 800th anniversary of the birth of King Louis IX, who commissioned the chapel to house his collection of religious relics, including what was believed to be Christ’s crown of thorns and part of the cross.
