Josephskapelle Düsseldorf, Baroque chapel in Altstadt, Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Josephskapelle stands at the intersection of Schlossufer and Altestadt streets, featuring a Greek cross floor plan and mahogany organ case.

Designed by electoral building director Matteo Alberti, the chapel was constructed between 1712 and 1716 as a monastery chapel for Düsseldorf Carmelites.

The chapel functions as the final resting place of Catholic nun and mystic Émilie Schneider, with the square in front named in her honor.

The Samuel Green organ, installed in 2013, contains 14 registers across two manuals and represents late baroque craftsmanship from 1795.

Following destruction in 1943, the chapel underwent reconstruction in the 1950s, with artist Wolfram Köberl creating new neo-rococo frescoes between 1994 and 1995.
