The Royal Chapel is a beautiful Gothic-style chapel in the Palace of Versailles that was built in 1689 by King Louis XIV. Designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the chapel features two levels and the French kings would sit on the upper floor to show themselves as God’s lieutenants. The chapel has exquisite Baroque interiors with monumental pillars, marble altarpieces and flooring, massive sculptures, and illustrious paintings on the ceilings and walls. The wedding of the future Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette took place in this chapel, and today it is used as a venue for private events and functions, and musical concerts.
