Paskevich burial chapel
Paskevich burial chapel, Religious burial site in Gomel Palace Complex, Belarus.
The square brick edifice stands 18 meters tall, featuring an octahedral tent roof, onion dome, and terracotta decorative elements throughout its exterior.
Construction of the chapel began in 1870 under architect Evgeny Czerwinski, requiring 19 years to complete the above-ground structure and underground burial vault.
The chapel represents Russian Revival architecture through its ceramic columns, sculptural corbel arches, gold-plated domes, and decorative colored ceramics.
A 32-meter tunnel connects the ground-level entrance to the underground crypt, where eight members of the Paskevich family rest.
The chapel's cobalt mosaic decoration, originally ordered from Saint Petersburg's Eyduken Lewenstein factory, remains preserved only within the crypt section.
