Versailles Royal Chapel (La Chapelle Royale) Tours
1 Review
There have been five chapels throughout the history of the Palace of Versailles, but today only the last of them remains – the Versailles Royal Chapel (La Chapelle Royale), the exterior of which can be seen from the entrance courtyard as it disrupts the otherwise symmetrical design of the palace.
Although it was officially completed in the early 18th century under Louis XIV and consecrated in 1710, there continued to be improvements and renovations well into the 20th century. However, the majority of its use took place throughout the 1700s with daily masses, royal weddings – including that of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette - and birth announcements and baptisms.
Because the French monarchy was heavily entrenched in Catholicism, the Royal Chapel played a large part in Louis XIV's reign although today it is a deconsecrated space. Today classical concerts and other special events are hosted in the Royal Chapel, but it is closed for daily viewing by the public with the exception of VIP tours.
Address: Chateau de Versailles, Place d’Armes, Versailles 78000, France
