St Michael's Chapel, Wawel Castle, Pre-Romanesque chapel in Wawel Castle, Poland
The stone chapel features a pentagonal chancel on the eastern side and includes a vestry positioned to the north of the main structure.
The first written records mentioning the chapel date back to 1148, with later chronicles describing its transformation from wood to brick construction.
The chapel served both royal ceremonies and regular worship, reflecting the connection between Polish monarchy and religious practices at Wawel Castle.

The Austrian military garrison occupying Wawel Castle demolished the chapel in 1803-1804 to create space for their drilling exercises.
