Choir, ducal chapel, Chateau de Germolles, Burgundy, France

Choir of the ducal chapel, built in the octagonal turret or bartizan as a private devotional space for the Duchess, 14th century, in the Chateau de Germolles, Burgundy, France, built 1385-1400 as the residence of the Dukes of Burgundy. This part of the chapel was destroyed by fire in the 19th century and was reconstructed in 2009-10. The chateau was built under Philippe le Hardi or Philip the Bold, first Duke of Burgundy of the new royal Valois dynasty, and then given to his wife, Margaret of Flanders, Duchess of Burgundy. The architect Drouet de Dammartin, the sculptors Jean de Marville and Claus Sluter and the painter Jean de Beaumetz all worked on the building. It was subsequently used by Jean sans Peur or John the Fearless, Philippe le Bon or Philip the Good and Charles le Temeraire or Charles the Bold. The chateau is listed as a historic monument.
