Fugger Chapel, Renaissance memorial chapel in St. Anne's Church, Augsburg, Germany

The Fugger Chapel features marble flooring, painted organ wings, stained glass windows, and decorative relief tablets within its Renaissance architectural design.

Jakob and Ulrich Fugger established the chapel in 1509 through an agreement with the Carmelite Convent, creating a permanent charitable foundation by 1521.

The chapel displays artworks from Hans Daucher, including a Lamentation of Christ altar group, and epitaphs designed by Albrecht Dürer.

The chapel maintains its function as a Catholic place of worship within the Protestant St. Anne's Church, supported by the Fugger Foundation.

This structure stands as Germany's first Renaissance sacred building, receiving 15,000 florins for its establishment from Jakob Fugger.
