Agnietenkapel, Medieval chapel in central Arnhem, Netherlands.
Agnietenkapel is a 15th-century chapel with a hall layout and barrel vaulting as its defining architectural form. The interior is distinguished by an oak pulpit from the 17th century that remains in its original position.
The chapel was built in the 15th century and served as a prayer space for the community for centuries. Severe wartime damage led to comprehensive reconstruction between 1950 and 1952, ensuring its survival.
The chapel serves as a repository of remembrance, with tombstones and commemorative boards marking the walls from different periods. These objects tell the story of the people who prayed and were honored within this space.
The chapel is centrally located in Arnhem on Gasthuisstraat and is easily accessible on foot, along with neighboring historic buildings in the area. It is advisable to check regular opening hours before planning a visit.
A notable feature is a single-manual organ built in 1777 by C.L. König that originally belonged to a church in Nijmegen before being relocated here in 1958. This instrument continues to characterize the acoustic quality of the interior today.
