Doppelkapelle Sanctae Crucis, Medieval double chapel in Landsberg, Germany.
The Doppelkapelle Sanctae Crucis rises on a porphyry hill, featuring two superimposed worship rooms connected through a central square opening and a south staircase.
Built around 1170 through donations from the House of Wettin, the chapel remains the last surviving structure of the former Landsberg Castle, which was destroyed in 1514.
The chapel's architecture incorporates high-quality details, including elaborate capitals, tympana, and columns at the northern portal, representing medieval construction techniques.
From May through October, visitors can access the chapel on Saturdays at 3:00 PM and Sundays at 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with additional times available upon request.
The structure contains a red marble Blood Column, granted by papal donation, and houses a reliquary reported to contain a fragment from the cross of Jesus.
