Royal Chapel of Milot, Religious monument in Milot, Haiti.

The Royal Chapel stands at the entrance of the Sans-Souci Palace complex, featuring neoclassical architecture with a central dome and symmetrical design.

King Henri Christophe commissioned the construction of this chapel between 1810 and 1813 as part of his vision for a grand royal residence.

The chapel served as a center for religious ceremonies and royal gatherings, reflecting the fusion of French architectural influences with Haitian royal aspirations.

Local guides provide detailed tours of the chapel site, explaining its connection to the Sans-Souci Palace and the nearby Citadelle Laferrière.

A fire in 2020 destroyed the chapel's dome and interior, prompting international preservation efforts to restore this UNESCO World Heritage site.
