Giselle Chapel in Veszprém, Gothic chapel in Veszprém, Hungary

The Giselle Chapel consists of three architectural sections, including two rectangular spaces and a square chancel decorated with Byzantine frescoes.

Built by Bishop Robertus, the chapel underwent significant changes during the 18th century after suffering damage during the Turkish occupation of Hungary.

The interior walls display some of Hungary's earliest paintings, featuring Byzantine frescoes of apostles created during the thirteenth century.

The chapel, situated on Vár Street in Veszprém, is currently not open to visitors due to temporary restrictions on public access.

According to local history, Queen Gisela saved King St. Stephen from pagan attackers by waving a crucifix from this location to guide him.
