France, Paris, Palais de la Cite, plan (after Mesqui): rebuilt c. 1295-1314.

Since this is the historical site for my setting, nice to have a handy reference; I don't have to design the castle myself!


(Which was referenced in this JSTOR article: The Doors of the Chapel and the Keys to the Palace of Louis IX




this is nice and plain and simple, from Wikipedia:
Floor plan of the palace as it looked following the construction of Sainte-Chapelle, by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, with Saint-Chapelle (labeled "A") near the center and the site of the later Conciergerie below it
