Chapel of the Three Kings of Cologne, Medieval chapel at Colston Street, Bristol, England
The Chapel of the Three Kings of Cologne stands at the top of Christmas Steps with carved statues representing the Biblical Magi in its niches.
John Foster, who served as High Sheriff, mayor, and member of parliament for Bristol, completed the construction of this religious building in 1504.
The chapel's name connects to the Shrine of the Three Kings in Cologne Cathedral, Germany, reflecting medieval trade relations between Bristol and European cities.
The chapel remains accessible to residents while the surrounding Foster's Almshouses have been transformed into private residential accommodations.
In the 1960s, three statues designed by Ernest Pascoe were installed to represent the Magi, with a small bellcote integrated into the gable structure.
