Gertrudenkapelle, Gothic chapel in Wolgast, Germany.
The Gertrudenkapelle features a central pillar supporting a star-vaulted ceiling with 24 ribs extending towards the twelve-sided brick structure walls.
Built in 1420, this chapel was commissioned by Duke Wartislaw IX upon returning from Jerusalem and served as the endpoint of a 1650-meter processional path.
The chapel stands as a precise reproduction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, reflecting medieval pilgrimage traditions in Northern Germany.
Located at Chausseestraße 26 in Wolgast, the chapel underwent exterior renovations in 1995 and interior restoration work in 2019-2020.
The building represents one of three remaining hospital chapels from the medieval period in Pomerania, featuring eleven external buttresses.
