St. Michael Chapel, Gothic chapel in Old Town Košice, Slovakia

St. Michael Chapel is a Gothic church on Hlavná street in the Old Town of Košice, Slovakia. It has pointed windows with two-light tracery, stepped buttresses along the outer walls, and a four-sided tower on the western end that is built into the main body of the structure.

Construction began between 1340 and 1380, when the chapel was built as a cemetery chapel with an ossuary below and a space for the Office of the Dead above. In 1508 the royal chancellor Juraj Szatmáry funded a large side aisle, nearly doubling its volume. After a fire in 1556 and a complex reconstruction from 1998 to 2006, it was consecrated as a church on 22 January 2006.

The chapel was once the place of worship for Slovak-speaking residents of the city, while the nearby Cathedral of Saint Elisabeth served mainly German and Hungarian communities. This division shaped how different groups shared the religious space of the Old Town for generations.

The chapel sits on Hlavná street in the center of the Old Town and is easy to reach on foot from most points in the area. Since it is an active place of worship, access may vary by day, and visitors are expected to be quiet inside.

The first municipal coat of arms in Europe, dated 1369, is set above the door leading to the vestry. The chapel itself was probably erected in the first half of the 14th century, so the coat of arms is later than the building, not older.
