Abbot Suger, a masterful patron was driven by one burning ambition - to rebuild Saint-Denis, the Royal Abbey where influential Kings and Queens of France were buried. Nowhere else is the potency of divine energy more evident than in the Basilica of Saint-Denis, which radiates an aura of stateliness. Featuring structural and stylistic techniques, and the monumental tombs of 43 French kings, 32 French queens, and 10 royal servants, the Basilica is a major and founding work of Gothic architecture.
