Kapelle St. Agatha, Medieval chapel in Disentis/Mustér, Switzerland.

The single-nave church contains three apses formed as shallow niches that do not show prominently on the exterior walls of the structure.

Built around 1100, the chapel underwent modifications in 1420 under Abbot Peter, including renovations to the ceiling and elevation of the roof and bell level.

The chapel walls display frescoes from four different periods, including a cycle depicting Saint Agatha's life painted between 1430 and 1440.

The chapel stands next to the La Pendenta suspension bridge over the Rhine River, accessible through various hiking trails in the region.

Lombard painters Cristoforo and Nicolao da Seregno created the apse decorations and the large adoration painting between 1450 and 1460.
