Treasury of Saint-Denis

Its surviving items are presently scattered between the Louvre, the Cabinet des Médailles of the French National Library, and other museums.

A complementary set of coronation-related regalia was kept at Reims Cathedral, where some remain exhibited at the Palace of Tau.

A number of the treasury's precious objects, including the main royal crown, were destroyed during the French Wars of Religion.

A number of objects, including the throne of Dagobert, were transferred to the National Library in September 1791.

[3] Meanwhile, the reconstituted canons of Saint-Denis acquired several ancient objects to replenish their treasury, and others were donated by the monarchs during the Bourbon Restoration, but a number of these were stolen again in 1882.
