The historic basilica at Saint-Denis is the first major structure in the Gothic style and the prototype of the great cathedrals of France. It was begun in 1136 on the site of a fifth century church and served as the royal necropolis for nearly all of the kings of France, from Dagobert in the seventh century until Louis XVII in the nineteenth century. The historic organ was Cavaillé-Coll’s first commission, in 1833, and was completed in 1841.
