Sainte-Chapelle de Châteaudun, Gothic chapel in Château de Châteaudun, France
The Sainte-Chapelle de Châteaudun features high ceilings, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults within the limestone walls of the castle complex.
Jean de Dunois, a companion of Joan of Arc, established this chapel in 1451 as part of three construction phases lasting until 1493.
The chapel contained twelve saint statues and preserved religious artifacts, including a fragment of the True Cross in a golden reliquary.
The chapel stands within the Château de Châteaudun complex, which the French government acquired in 1938 and placed under national monument management.
This structure belongs to a select group of seven remaining Sainte-Chapelle chapels in France, serving as both a place of worship and royal burial site.
