"Step into the mesmerizing world of the Holy Chapel, a true architectural marvel nestled in the heart of Paris, France. With its stunning stained glass windows and intricate details, this chapel is a sight to behold. As you approach from St Michel Bridge, you are greeted with a breathtaking view of the Sainte Chapelle. The drawing by Gustave Fraipont captures its beauty perfectly, showcasing its grandeur against the backdrop of the Seine River. Inside, prepare to be amazed by the treasures that lie within. The gold and silver reliquary and cisele of saints Maxien, Lucien, Julien from the treasure collection will transport you back to 1261-1262 when they were created. These precious artifacts can now be found at the National Museum of Middle Ages in Thermes de Cluny. Take a moment to imagine what it was like during construction as captured in P. Emonts' photograph from around 1865. The Bridge au Change, Concierge building and Palace of Justice all stand witness to this historical masterpiece being brought to life. The presence of King Louis IX (or Saint Louis) is felt throughout these hallowed halls with his polychrome wood statue adorning one corner. It's no wonder he chose this sacred space for his proclamation ceremony upon reaching adulthood. History continues to unfold within these walls as seen through various events such as Louis XV departing after breaking Louis XIV's will or witnessing important religious ceremonies like "La messe du Saint Esprit. " Even artists couldn't resist capturing its allure on canvas; Louis Vivin's painting showcases an enchanting view of both Palace of Justice and Holy Chapel together. The Holy Chapel stands tall today as a testament to human ingenuity and devotion. Its exterior facade exudes medieval charm while inside reveals an ethereal ambiance that has captivated visitors for centuries.
