Sainte-Chapelle de Champigny-sur-Veude

The Sainte-Chapelle features eleven large stained glass windows depicting the life of King Louis and his crusades along its stone walls.

Construction of this religious monument began in 1499 under Louis I, Duke of Bourbon, following his military expedition to Italy.

The chapel represents French medieval religious architecture through its vaulted ceiling, five-sided apse, and elaborate stone carvings throughout the structure.

Located in the Loire Valley region, the chapel opens to visitors who can purchase entry tickets to explore the interior and surrounding grounds.

This chapel survived the destruction of its connected chateau by Cardinal Richelieu through direct intervention from the Pope during that period.
