Saint Teresa chapel, Catholic chapel on vineyard slopes in Tarcal, Hungary

Saint Teresa Chapel sits on a hillside surrounded by vineyards in Tarcal in northeastern Hungary. The structure commands views across the renowned Tokaj wine-producing landscape below.

Count Antal Grassalkovich had the chapel built in 1749–50, entrusting the work to master builder Gottfried Drese. It was dedicated to Saint Teresa because her feast on 15 October coincided with the traditional start of the grape harvest in Tarcal. After the Second World War it was looted and fell into ruin; the exterior was renovated in the late 1980s and the whole building in 2015.

The chapel's dedication to Saint Teresa of Ávila follows the tradition that her feast day, 15 October, marked the start of the grape harvest in Tarcal. Catholic believers came here on that day in pilgrimage, so the chapel's name and its annual feast are tied to the wine calendar.

The chapel sits on a hill easily reached by paths from the village below. Wear comfortable shoes since the walk crosses vineyard paths and includes some steep sections.

The chapel was built in 1749–50 by Count Antal Grassalkovich, crown guard, with master builder Gottfried Drese, in thanks for Empress Maria Theresa's donations. After World War II looters burned its wooden furnishings and ornaments to fry bacon. A small wooden stair led to the timber gallery above the entrance.
