These are a few examples that we found of the Sainte Chappelle.
We believe these really show off some of the more spectacular architecture.
This is an image of the ceiling of the Upper Chapel.
The ceiling is ribbed and has criss-crossing arches and beams overhead.
| This is an example of Rayonnant architecture. |
| As you can see, there are tall and elaborate pillars supporting the roof, and many rose-shaped stained glass windows. The windows are carved right into the walls, with thin arches strengthning them. |
| This is the Rose stained glass window. |
| It is shaped like a rose, and has many stained-glass scenes and pictures inside of the rose. |
| There are over 1,000 images and scenes in these windows. Every scene and picture is different and unique. |
This is the altar of the holy relics that once resided in the building. Around the room with this altar are statues of the 12 Apostles. |
| This is in the Upper Chapel of the Ste. Chappelle. |
