X:Saint Chapelle

Saint Chapelle is the name of a church in Paris, near Notre Dame, originally built by Louis IX to house relics from the Holy Land - today it has one of the more remarkable collections of stained glass visible in Paris.

On the left a view from outside of Saint Chapelle, with the outsides of the stained glass windows visible - below is a picture of these from the inside, with the sun streaming through.  On the right is a view of the Saint Chapelle tower from the towers of Notre Dame.
