Trinitatiskapel, Gothic chapel in Dordrecht, Netherlands
Trinitatiskapel is a Gothic chapel in Dordrecht with a rectangular layout and a three-sided choir section covered in slate. Buttresses appear only on the choir side.
The chapel was established in 1304 as part of a hospice for blind people and was acquired by the Lutheran congregation in 1690. This transfer marked a turning point in the building's purpose.
The chapel takes its name from the Holy Trinity and serves today as a space for religious observances and private events. Its interior furnishings from centuries past create a reflective setting for gatherings.
The chapel is easily accessible in downtown Dordrecht and opens for various events including weddings and concerts. Visitors should check ahead about viewing opportunities during your stay.
Between its time as a hospice and its Lutheran use, the building stored peat, a common fuel source of that era. This unusual interim purpose shows how adaptively older structures were repurposed in the past.
