Chapels on 13th-15th Century Burgs in Continental Croatia

Zorislav Horvat

Abstract

Many medieval castles had a chapel, but few have been preserved. In the 13th and 14th centuries chapels were simple Romanesque buildings, and at the end of the 14th and in the 15th century the Gothic style introduced more complex design. An important feature of castle chapels were galleries built in the western part, from which the lord of the castle could attend mass.
