Sainte-Chapelle was built in just six years (compared with nearly 200 years for Notre Dame) and consecrated in 1248. The chapel was conceived by Louis IX to house his personal collection of holy relics, including the famous Ste-Couronne (Holy Crown), acquired by the French king in 1239 from the emperors of Constantinople for a sum of money easily exceeding the amount it cost to build the chapel. The wreath of thorns is safeguarded today in the treasury at Notre Dame.
Statues, foliage-decorated capitals, angels and so on decorate this sumptuous, bijou chapel. But it is the 1113 scenes depicted in its 15 floor-to-ceiling stained-glass windows – 15.5m high in the nave, 13.5m in the apse – that stun visitors. From the bookshop in the former ground-floor chapel reserved for palace staff, spiral up the staircase to the upper chapel, where only the king and his close friends were allowed.
Before arriving, download the ‘Sainte Chapelle Windows’ app to ‘read’ the window biblical story – from Genesis through to the resurrection of Christ. Once here, rent an audioguide (€3) or join a free 45-minute guided tour in English (daily between 11am and 3pm).
Sainte-Chapelle’s location within the Palais de Justice (Law Courts) means security is tight; be sure to leave pocket knives, scissors and the like at your accommodation. Even combination ticket-holders still need to go through the security queue.
You can peek at Sainte-Chapelle’s exterior from across the street (albeit not a patch on its interior), by the law courts’ magnificently gilded 18th-century gate facing rue de Lutèce.

Sainte-Chapelle建于短短六年（与Notre Dame将近200年相比）并于1248年建成。这座小教堂由路易九世设计，用于收藏他个人收藏的圣物，包括着名的Ste-Couronne（圣冠） 1239年，法国国王从君士坦丁堡的皇帝那里获得了一笔钱，这笔钱很容易超过建造小教堂所需的金额。今天，在巴黎圣母院的国库里，荆棘的花圈得到了保障。
雕像，植物装饰的大写字母，天使等装饰着这个华丽的宝石小教堂。但是它的十五个落地彩色玻璃窗中描绘的1113个场景 - 在教堂中殿高15.5米，后殿13.5米 - 让游客昏迷。从为宫殿工作人员预留的前地下教堂的书店，将楼梯旋转到上部小教堂，只允许国王和他的亲密朋友。
在到达之前，下载'Sainte Chapelle Windows'应用程序以“阅读”窗口的圣经故事 - 从创世纪到基督的复活。到这里后，租一个语音导游（三欧元）或参加四十五分钟的免费英语导游（每天上午十一点到下午三点）。
Sainte-Chapelle位于司法宫（法院）内的位置意味着安全紧张;一定要在你的住处留下小刀，剪刀等。即使是组合票持有者仍然需要通过安全队列。
你可以在街对面偷看Sainte-Chapelle的外观（虽然不是内部的补丁），法院的十八世纪镀金华丽的门面对着路德卢斯（ruedeLutèce）。
