St. Wolfgang, Gothic cemetery chapel in Meissen, Germany

The late Gothic brick building features a symmetrical floor plan with three-sided apices on both eastern and western ends of the structure.

The chapel construction started in 1471, following designs attributed to Arnold von Westfalen, with the first documented reference appearing in 1474.

The chapel contains an organ with components dating to the 16th century, originally from the Cistercian convent Marienstern near Mühlberg.

The building currently operates as a workshop and storage facility for the Dombauhütte Meißen and remains closed to public visits.

The southern extensions, used as sacristies, display ribless star-shaped vaults, a design innovation also present in the nearby Albrechtsburg.
