CultureVisit: ~15 min
Gdansk's Royal Chapel, built between 1678 and 1681 in the Baroque style, was raised for the Catholic community of a largely Protestant city. The design is attributed to Tylman van Gameren, and the sandstone building has a compact, sober form. It stands next to St Mary's Basilica, on a narrow street in the old town.
