Sainte-Chapelle de Riom, Gothic chapel in Riom, France.

The Sainte-Chapelle de Riom features a single nave with four bays, vaulted ogives, and nine windows illuminating its 15.3-meter-high interior space.

Construction began between 1395 and 1396 under master builder Hugues Foucher, completing in 1403 as part of the residence for Jean de Berry.

The chapel contains a fragment of the True Cross, granting it the title of Sainte-Chapelle, a privilege reserved for princes descended from Saint Louis.

Visitors can access the chapel from July to August, with guided tours available on Tuesdays at 4:30 PM, and admission costs 2 euros for adults.

The stained glass windows, created between 1450 and 1460 under Charles I of Bourbon, demonstrate the artistic excellence of 15th-century glass craftsmanship.
