Chapel of Versailles Palace, Royal chapel in Palace of Versailles, France
The Chapel of Versailles Palace features ornate gilded sculptures, marble columns, and painted ceilings extending across two levels within the Palace complex.
Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte designed this religious monument in 1699 during the reign of Louis XIV to establish royal spiritual authority.
The chapel regularly hosted morning masses where the royal family gathered on the upper tribune while courtiers occupied the ground floor section.
Visitors can access the chapel through the main Palace entrance, with guided tours available daily except Mondays from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
The architectural design incorporates 28 windows that allow natural light to illuminate the marble floors and enhance the reflective properties of gilt decorations.
