St. Michael Chapel, Gothic chapel in Old Town Košice, Slovakia
The stone structure features pointed windows with two-light tracery, stepped buttresses, and a four-sided tower integrated into the nave from the west.
Built between 1380 and 1400 as a cemetery chapel, the structure initially contained an upper mortuary and a lower ossuary accommodating up to 100 bodies.
The chapel served Slovak worshippers while the nearby Cathedral of Saint Elisabeth catered to German and Hungarian congregants during medieval times.
Located at Hlavná 21040 in Košice, the chapel underwent restoration in 2006 and transformed from a funeral chapel into an official church building.
The first municipal coat of arms in Europe, dating from 1369, remains displayed above the vestry door inside the chapel.
