FAQ – Sainte-Chapelle Tickets & Visit

King Louis IX of France commissioned the construction of the Sainte-Chapelle between 1242 and 1248, completing it in a mere six years, an impressive feat for the Middle Ages! It was intended as a shrine for his collection of Passion relics, including what was believed to be the Crown of Thorns of Christ. He acquired these at an exorbitant price, equivalent to twice the annual royal income of that time. Sadly, many of these relics were lost during the French Revolution.

Then yes, today no! King Louis IX of France, later canonized as Saint Louis, indeed purchased relics known as the Passion relics, including what was believed to be the Crown of Thorns of Jesus Christ. He had the Sainte-Chapelle built in the 13th century as a magnificent shrine for these relics.

However, the Crown of Thorns and other relics were later relocated during the French Revolution. Today, the Crown of Thorns is preserved in the treasury of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. It was even saved during the devastating fire at Notre-Dame in 2019.
