Brigittakapelle, Baroque chapel in Brigittenau, Austria.
The Brigittakapelle presents an octagonal structure with thick walls, a cylindrical interior space, and a dome topped by a lantern.
Architect Filiberto Lucchese constructed this brick chapel in 1650, which later influenced the naming of the entire Brigittenau district of Vienna.
The chapel, originally Roman Catholic, now serves the Georgian Orthodox community as the Church of Saint King David the Renovator.
The religious building stands at coordinates 48.245 latitude and 16.3744 longitude, making it accessible from central Vienna by public transportation.
Two separate legends link the chapel to both Emperor Ferdinand III and Archduke Leopold Wilhelm during the Thirty Years' War period.
