Palace Chapel, Gothic chapel in Buda Castle, Hungary
The Palace Chapel extends along the eastern side of Buda Castle with its brick floor structure and substantial Gothic windows marking its medieval origins.
King Sigismund constructed this religious edifice in 1401 as part of his grand reconstruction project of the Buda Castle complex during the 15th century.
The chapel functions both as a religious monument and exhibition space within the Budapest History Museum, displaying artifacts from different periods of Hungarian history.
Visitors can access the chapel through the Budapest History Museum, with admission fees including entry to both the museum and the religious structure.
The chapel remained concealed beneath a Baroque terrace for centuries until its rediscovery and subsequent reconstruction in 1963 revealed its medieval architecture.
