Chapelle in located in the heart of Paris, on the Ile de la Cité, not far from Notre Dame and mostly surrounded by the Palais de Justice. La Sainte Chapelle (The Holy Chapel) is a Gothic chapel built in what is known as the rayonnet style. It is perhaps the purest example of high Gothic architecture in the world. The reason for this can be attributed to the speed at which it was built. Begun in 1246, it was completed and consecrated on April 26, 1248, and was most likely designed by one person. No designer-builder is directly mentioned in the archives, but the name of Pierre de Montreuil has been historically connected with the chapel. Pierre de Montreuil had rebuilt the apse of the Abbey of Saint Denis and completed the façade of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Source: paris-walking-tours.com no HTML
