Loreto Chapel, Baroque chapel in Fribourg, Switzerland.

Loreto Chapel is a Baroque religious building constructed from local molasse sandstone, positioned on elevated terrain overlooking the medieval heart of Fribourg. The structure displays characteristic Baroque architectural features and sits in a location with views across the historic old town.

Hans-Franz Reyff, newly appointed city architect, built the chapel in 1647/1648 as his first sacred work. The people of Fribourg dedicated it to Our Lady of Loreto shortly before the end of the Thirty Years' War, in thanks for being spared the war's devastation. It also reasserted the city's Catholic identity during the Counter-Reformation.

The chapel is a replica of the Santa Casa di Loreto, the house venerated as Mary's home in the Basilica della Santa Casa. Fribourg's donors are commemorated by their coats of arms beneath each exterior niche, framed by acanthus branches and cartouches inscribed with their names, titles and the execution date 1650. The iron grille inside bears the date 1890.

The chapel stands on an artificial terrace on the Montorge ridge near the porte de Bourguillon, reached on foot from the old town. The terrace is ringed by a balustrade of square stone blocks with wrought-iron grilles set between them, and it evens out the east-to-west slope of the ground. From this terrace the old town and the Schönberg quarter lie below.

The donors are commemorated beneath each exterior niche: their coats of arms, framed by acanthus branches and cartouches with Roman capitals, give their names, titles and the execution date 1650. The arms were restored together with the statues.
