Kaplica św. Jacka w Oświęcimiu, Gothic chapel in Oświęcim, Poland
The Saint Hyacinth Chapel features a rectangular shape with two bays, built from brick, with cross-ribbed vaulting and stone ribs inside.
Originally constructed in 1304 as a chapter house of the Dominican monastery through the foundation of Duke Mieszko I of Cieszyn.
The chapel houses a black marble epitaph from 1656 dedicated to Mikołaj Mstowski and stained glass windows depicting Saint Hyacinth from 1896.
