St George's Chapel, Wawel Castle, Pre-Romanesque chapel at Wawel Castle, Kraków, Poland
St George's Chapel features one nave with a rectangular sanctuary on the east side and contains a large crypt beneath its floor.
The earliest recorded mention of St George's Chapel dates to 1243, with the brick structure built during King Casimir III the Great's reign.
The chapel served dual functions within Wawel Castle, operating both as a royal chapel and as a place of worship for regular citizens.
Archaeological excavations after World War II revealed the foundation remains of the chapel, which was demolished in 1804 during Austrian occupation.
Plans exist to reconstruct the entire St George's Chapel structure to restore its position within the Wawel Castle complex.
