Sint-Joostkapel, Gothic chapel in Ginnekenstraat, Breda, Netherlands
The Sint-Joostkapel stands in the center of Breda, featuring a renewed tower from 1662 and detailed mosaic panels on the sidewalls next to the altar.
Built in 1436 as a sanctuary for plague victims, the chapel transformed through various functions including a warehouse, stable, and military prison before its restoration.
The interior contains six stained glass windows depicting major events, including the liberation of Breda by Polish forces during World War II.
The chapel maintains regular opening hours for visitors who want to light candles, located in the main shopping district of central Breda.
Two prophet heads crafted by Niel Steenbergen and golden crowns for Mary and child created by Nico Witteman adorn the chapel interior.
