Kaplica Firlejów w Bejscach, Renaissance chapel in Bejsce, Poland.

The square-plan chapel features a copper-topped dome, corner Ionic pilasters, and a Doric entablature adorned with intricate Renaissance sculptural details.

Built between 1593 and 1610, the chapel was commissioned by Mikołaj Firlej, the voivode of Cracow, following the death of his wife Elżbieta Ligęza.

The interior walls display Mannerist paintings depicting scenes from Mary's life, complemented by groups of angels and semi-circular arcaded niches.

The chapel underwent extensive renovations between 2012 and 2015, ensuring its preservation and maintaining its architectural elements for current visitors.

The chapel contains remarkable Mannerist gravestones of Mikołaj and Elżbieta Firlej, created by Tomasz Nikiel's workshop with distinguished artistic details.
