The Chapel Roof


Here you see the steeples of the Basilica and the church, taken from one of the higher levels in the old cemetery of the Chateau. You see a part of the beautiful Russian chapel on the left. I wish someone would come along and mend the roof. I fear for this beautiful building - my favourite in the cemetery.

The cemetery is above the Old Town - you can see these steeples in the banner photograph of this blog.

  2. Olivier, this chapel is totally closed - never open. The handles of the doors are stuck. I'd love to get inside but I doubt it would be possible.

  4. Maybe it is a place filled with dead and not a chapel. We have them here in old cemeteries. I forget the name.
