The chapel Royal at Dreux was originally the burial site of the Ducal House of Penthièvre at the Saint-Étienne collegiate church.
The Saint-Étienne collegiate church was ransacked in March 1793 as was the ducal crypt and the remains of all those buried there were emptied from their coffins into a pit dug outside.
The chapel was torn down in 1797.

In 1816 ,Marie-Adélaïde de Bourbon (the mother of Louis Philippe) bought back the land and had a chapel erected on the site where the ducal remains were dumped.
Her son Louis Philippe later had the chapel enlarged.
