Not worth the price
Impressive part of Lithuanian Grand Duchy history. :) Chapel was built in 1326 as part of Lublin Castle complex. In 1407 it was rebuilt in Gothic style by Lithuanian grand duke and Polish king Jogaila. Extensive fresco work was conducted in the interior by an anonymous team of Ruthenian painters under the supervision of Master Andrey. It was during this time that the walls and ceiling were covered in a Rutheno-Byzantine polychrome. The paintings were completed in 1418, which is noted in Cyrillic on the patronage tablet, located on the arch between the nave and the presbytery of the church. Along with religious scenes decorating the interior of the church, there are two portraits of Jogaila, the patron of the painting project. The polychrome was conducted with various techniques: both on dry and wet plaster with tempera paint. So, it is very sensitive and protected area. :)
Living history
Small and has nothing in it but a tiny table at the back. If you're not religious'y, there's not much point in going.
A must-see place in Lublin.
