Trinity Chapel, Gothic chapel in Old Town, Kraków, Poland
Trinity Chapel is a Gothic structure in the Old Town, located within the Wawel Cathedral complex. It features carefully crafted ribbed vaults, pointed arches, and detailed stone carvings that represent medieval religious architecture typical of Lesser Poland.
The chapel was built between 1431 and 1433 at the commission of Queen Sophia, wife of King Ladislaus Jagello. It was constructed as part of the Wawel complex during a period of royal building activity in the region.
The chapel shows how Gothic style shaped religious buildings across medieval Poland. Visitors can see today how this architectural approach influenced the design of sacred spaces in the region.
The chapel is accessible through guided tours of Wawel Cathedral. Informational plaques on site provide details about its architectural features and context.
The chapel was built using stone, distinguishing it from the predominantly brick Gothic structures found in northern Poland. This material choice reflects regional building practices of the period.
