Schlosskapelle Hubertusburg

Schlosskapelle Hubertusburg is a Baroque chapel occupying the left half of the palace's main wing, featuring rounded arches and an altar niche with marble-effect walls. All its furnishings and decorative elements come from the 18th century when it was first built.

The building was erected in the 18th century under the Prince Elector to create a royal chapel at the hunting lodge. During the Seven Years War in 1761, the court chaplain succeeded in protecting the original interior from looting.

The chapel belongs to Hubertusburg Palace, built as a hunting lodge for the Prince Electors and holding a central place in Saxon court tradition. The space still shows traces of this princely history in its decoration and layout.

Access is only possible through organized tours coordinated by the parish. Visitors should arrange visits in advance and ask about opening hours.

The altar is unusually integrated into the palace wall, using the building's structural architecture as part of the liturgical space. This approach was typical for court chapels that had to be fitted into existing palace wings.
