ParisBasilica of Saint Denis Tickets

Basilica of Saint Denis | A gothic cathedral, a royal burial site

Much before goth core was a thing and Frankenstein became the official ambassador of everything Gothic, the Basilica of Saint Denis was constructed with its delicate tracery of the rose window and the majestic flying buttresses! As a pilgrimage site and the final resting place for French monarchs, the cathedral has played a pivotal role in French history and culture. Its soaring spires, stained glass windows, and biblical sculptures offer a glimpse into the grandeur and devotion of the Middle Ages.

Read on to know everything about the Basilica Cathedral of Saint Denis, its ticket options, how to plan your visit and more!

Basilica Cathedral of Saint Denis highlights

Royal tombs

A graveyard like no other, the Basilica of Saint Denis is an edifice where many of the great French names were laid to rest. From Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to Charlemagne, it keeps safe the remains of 43 kings, 32 queens, and numerous princes and princesses from the Merovingian, Carolingian, and Capetian dynasties, dating back to Dagobert I in 639 until Louis XVIII in 1824.

The stained glass windows

A live kaleidoscope of colors, the glass windows serve not only as decorative elements but also as narrative devices, illustrating biblical stories and theological themes. For example, the Jesse Tree window depicts the genealogy of Jesus, connecting the Old Testament to the New Testament, while other windows portray significant figures such as Moses and allegories from the letters of St. Paul.

Crypt of the Bourbons

The Crypt of the Bourbons is a lesser-known yet fascinating part of the Basilica– it contains the remains of several members of the Bourbon dynasty, characterized by its simplicity, with black marble tombs that contrast with the ornate architecture of the basilica. Did you know that after their execution, the remains of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were eventually reburied here in 1817 by Louis XVIII?

North Transept

Imagine an architectural transition from Romanesque to Gothic style– it’s the North Transept of the Basilica of Saint-Denis, a special part of the cathedral: think stunning rose windows, an intricate portal and tympanum, and innovative Gothic design elements! The rose window, dating back to the 13th century, features intricate designs and biblical imagery, such as the Tree of Jesse, while the facade's portal and tympanum, dating around 1160, depict the martyrdom of Saint Denis and his companions.

Ambulatory

Picture this: a circular passage bathed in light with radiating chapels that look like a pathway to heaven. That’s the ambulatory of the basilica for you, called such as it allows pilgrims to circumambulate the relics of Saint Denis, encircling the choir. Suger's design incorporated elements that enabled the use of larger windows and a greater influx of light, which created a luminous and spiritual atmosphere, reflecting Suger's belief in light as a manifestation of the divine.
