Sainte-Chapelle de Dijon
Dijon, Departement de la Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne, France
The church was built by Hugues III, Duke of Burgundy of the Capetian dynasty.
He went to the Holy land on a pilgrimage in 1171. He made the vow, in the middle of a storm in which he nearly lost his life, if he escaped the sinking, he would build within the confines of his hotel, a church dedicated to the Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist. Having donated to the Holy See of the land on which the Church would be built, he founded the church upon his return in 1172
