Chapel-burial-vault of Svyatopolk-Mirsky family, Eastern Orthodox sepulchral chapel in Mir, Belarus
The Chapel-burial-vault of Svyatopolk-Mirsky family is an Eastern Orthodox sepulchral chapel in Mir that combines multiple architectural styles. The building merges Empire design with Russian Revival and Art Nouveau features throughout its exterior structure and interior space.
The chapel was built in 1904 by architect Robert Marfeld as a burial site for the noble family. It was constructed during a period when architects blended historical and contemporary design approaches in Eastern Europe.
The chapel functions as a place of Orthodox prayer and remembrance for the Svyatopolk-Mirsky family members. Visitors can observe how religious tradition shaped the building's design and its spiritual purpose within the local community.
The chapel sits near the Mir Castle Complex in the Grodno Region and is easily accessible on foot. Visiting allows you to explore both the religious building and the nearby castle together in a single trip.
The chapel demonstrates an unusual blend of three distinct architectural styles within a single compact structure. This combination creates a harmonious effect that reflects the cultural diversity of early 20th century Belarus.
