Agnietenkapel, Gothic chapel in Nieuwe Markt, Netherlands.

The Agnietenkapel stands as a Gothic structure with high windows, featuring elements of medieval religious architecture from the 15th century.

Originally built as part of a women's convent dedicated to Saint Agnes, the chapel served as a tapestry workshop after the Protestant Reformation.

The chapel transformed from a religious building to a pawnshop in 1653, where citizens of Gouda could obtain loans against collateral until 1924.

The venue accommodates 100 visitors and provides facilities including exhibition boards, a mobile bar, kitchen equipment, and sound systems for events.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the chapel faced potential demolition before undergoing restoration between 1972 and 1975 for cultural activities.
