Chapelle Royale Saint-Louis in Dreux
The Chapelle royale de Dreux , also Chapelle Royale Saint-Louis , is the burial place of the d'Orléans family built by Charles Philippe Cramail from 1816 onwards in Dreux on behalf of Madame d'Orléans, born Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon-Penthièvre . After its completion, the people referred to it as Saint-Denis des Orléans , an allusion to the burial place of the French rulers in the former abbey church of Saint-Denis .
King Louis-Philippe I had the original building enlarged in the style of neo-Gothic historicism .
history
When Madame d'Orléans, widow of the guillotined Philippe Égalité , was allowed to return to France from exile after the deposition of the emperor Napoléon I , she decided to have an appropriate burial site built for her family. To this end, she bought back an area next to the collegiate church Saint-Étienne from François Belois, which he had acquired in 1798 after it had been confiscated from the de Bourbon-Penthièvre family .
On February 14, 1816, Madame d'Orléans commissioned the Parisian architect Charles-Philippe Cramail to build the chapel.

organ
Cavaillé-Coll organ from 1845
In 1845, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll built an organ with two manuals, a pedal and 20 stops as Opus 77 . In 1875 there was a revision in which three registers were changed and some were renamed. First he used the cone shop for the prospect pipes . The bass pipes of the Basson-hautbois are built as a double cone shape, as it is known from Clicquot. The organ has had the following disposition since 1875 :
