It gradually became the most important collection in Europe of funerary sculptures made from the 12th to the 16th century. This role as a royal necropolis earned it the nickname &quot;the cemetery of kings &quot; by a 13th century chronicler. Today, the monument houses no less than 70 recumbents and tombs.<br /> In the 12th century, the Saint-Denis basilica was established as a new architectural masterpiece under the impetus of Abbot Suger, advisor to Louis VI and Louis VII. It was gradually rebuilt in a new style, with innovative principles for the time, such as the ribbed vaults.<br /> Following the Revolution, in 1792, the monks had to leave their buildings, whose reconstruction had just been completed. In October 1793, the royal bodies of the Bourbons were exhumed from the lead tombs, as France was at war and needed metal to make bullets. In 1794, the Commission of Arms and Powder ordered the removal of the roof made of lead sheets.<br /> Disused, the ruined building was more or less exposed to the elements for many years. It was then transformed into a theater and a warehouse for flour and wheat!<br /> However, under the impulse of Châteaubriant, at the beginning of the Empire, Napoleon I decided to restore the monument to dedicate it to the burial of the emperors and to remind the memory of the former kings...In 1817, Louis XVIII, the new Bourbon king, decided to have the mixed remains of the sovereigns searched for and reburied in an ossuary in the crypt, the former vault of Turenne.<br /> In 1809, Napoleon signed the decree for the installation of the educational center of the Legion of Honor, which is still in place today, in the old monastic buildings...in 1813, Napoleon I commissioned the architect François Debret to restore the building. A colossal project was undertaken throughout the monument: stained glass windows, facades, floors, vaults and sculptures were restored. However, the work was contested from the 1830s onwards and gave rise to controversy, culminating in the question of the north spire. On June 9, 1837, lightning struck the 90 m high spire, Debret had it repaired, but the tornado of 1845 weakened it again, which precipitated the departure of the architect and his replacement by Viollet-le-Duc.<br /> [<a href="http://www.saint-denis-basilique.fr" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.saint-denis-basilique.fr</a>]</p>
