Dreux Royal Chapel, Neogothic chapel in Dreux, France.
The Royal Chapel of Dreux features a central dome and multiple architectural elements combining Gothic Revival style with French ecclesiastical traditions.
Construction of the chapel started in 1816 under the guidance of architects Claude-Philippe Cramail and Pierre-Bernard Lefranc at the request of the Duchess of Orleans.
The chapel holds seventy-five burial sites of French nobility, including Louis Philippe I and members of the House of Orleans, making it a memorial of royal heritage.
Visitors can access the chapel from January through November, with entrance fees ranging from 5.20 euros for children to 9.50 euros for adults.
Alexandre Brogniart, director of the Sevres manufactory, created large fired-enamel paintings specifically for the chapel interior during the early nineteenth century.
