Veitskapelle, Gothic church in Mühlhausen, Germany

The Veitskapelle features Gothic architecture with stone walls, decorated vaults, and medieval wall paintings that date back to the late 14th century.

Construction of the Veitskapelle began in 1380 under the commission of Reinhart and Eberhart von Mühlhausen, who served at Emperor Karl IV's court.

The chapel walls contain medieval frescoes depicting biblical stories and scenes from Saint Vitus's life, painted between 1385 and 1440.

Regular Protestant services take place every Sunday at 9:30 AM, with additional afternoon services from Easter until Thanksgiving between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM.

The original high altar now resides in Stuttgart's State Gallery, replaced by a 1510 altarpiece featuring Saint Vitus and carved figures of apostles.
