Altenberger Markuskapelle, Medieval chapel in Odenthal, Germany.

The Altenberger Markuskapelle stands between Altenberg Court and Kitchen Court, featuring a six-pass window on its northern wall and pointed arch windows in the polygon.

Built around 1220 on older foundations discovered during excavations in 1895, the chapel contained three burial sarcophagi made of red sandstone and tuff masonry.

The western wall houses a early Gothic mural depicting the coronation of Mary, while the interior paintings follow historical traces discovered during restoration.

The chapel generally follows the opening hours of Altenberg Cathedral, but remains temporarily closed for repairs following weather damage.

In 1988, artist Walter Jansen created a sculpture of Saint Mark using nine different types of wood, placed in a niche of the western wall.
