Rundkapelle Petronell, Romanesque chapel in Petronell-Carnuntum, Austria

The round chapel features a high cone roof, semicircular apse, and meter-thick stone walls built with Romanesque architectural elements.

Construction of the chapel began in the first half of the 12th century, utilizing foundations from an earlier structure dating back to the 11th century.

The structure contains a 16th-century gallery and sculptures of St. Joachim and St. Anne from 1700, representing religious art through different periods.

The interior of the chapel includes a crypt established in the 18th century that serves as the burial site for the Abensperg-Traun noble family.

The defensive passage within the thick outer walls protected inhabitants during frequent invasions throughout the medieval period.
