Mariënburgkapel, Nijmegen, Gothic chapel in central Nijmegen, Netherlands.

The Mariënburgkapel features a rectangular stair tower on its southern facade and contains five western bays divided by trachyte pillars supporting a gallery.

Built in 1431 as part of the Mons Mariae monastery, the chapel underwent transformations from a military hospital to a cotton mill before becoming a municipal museum.

The double-church design separated the space between nuns and lay people, with two floors in the western section reflecting medieval religious social structures.

The chapel, located at Mariënburg 26 in Nijmegen, now functions as the House of Nijmegen History and welcomes visitors to explore local heritage.

The interior displays cross-ribbed vaults and maintains its original fifteenth-century Gothic architectural elements despite multiple functional changes throughout centuries.
