St. Stephen's Chapel
The complex is oriented around a few chambers, two of the main chambers connect to a axis that move users from one spot to another in the complex. The Upper Chapel was exclusively for the use of the Royal Family and could only be entered via the royal apartments; the door from the outside led only into the undercroft of the chapel.
Richly (and expensively) decorated, the roof of the Upper Chapel was painted sky-blue and spattered with thousands of gold stars, and below its windows were many painted biblical characters and stories.A fire in 1834 destroyed the body of the building"( )
