Sainte-Chapelle de Bourges, Gothic chapel in Bourges, France.
The Sainte-Chapelle of Bourges featured two levels of architecture with tall windows that allowed natural light to illuminate the interior space.
Built between 1392 and 1405 at the request of Duke Jean de Berry, the chapel served as a royal place of worship until its destruction in 1757.
The chapel contained precious religious objects, including a fragment of the True Cross gifted by King Charles V of France.
The chapel's architectural elements were repurposed after its demolition, with some stained glass windows transferred to the Saint-Étienne Cathedral of Bourges.
The chapel's central nave held the burial site of Duke Jean de Berry, marked by a tomb adorned with sculptures by artists André Beauneveu and Jean de Cambrai.
