Marienkapelle

The Marienkapelle is a Roman Catholic chapel located at the Unterer Markt (market square) of Würzburg, Bavaria.

History

• Built in the 14th century, the Marienkapelle was constructed in the Gothic style. Despite its large size, it is classified as a chapel due to its status without a parish. The chapel's interior was severely damaged during World War II, and it was rebuilt in the 1950s. It was re-consecrated in 1962.

Architecture

The Marienkapelle features Gothic architectural elements. Notable architect Balthasar Neumann is buried within the chapel.
