Chapel of the Holy Spirit in Pyrzyce

The Chapel of the Holy Spirit in Pyrzyce is a Gothic building of granite ashlar, one of the town's historic monuments. Today it houses the Tradition Department, that is, the Museum of the Pyrzyce Land of the Pyrzyce Public Library, and stands on Zabytkowa Street.

From a hospital chapel to a library

The chapel was probably built at the end of the 13th century, and a hospital formerly adjoined its wall. At the beginning of the 15th century it was rebuilt, and further alterations came in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1945 the building was destroyed, and in 1967-1969 it was rebuilt for the needs of the public library. On the north elevation a Gothic portal has survived, along with several details: a frieze of rosettes and reliefs with silhouettes of animals.

Museum of the Pyrzyce Land

Since August 2013 a museum has operated in the chapel, where one can see collections connected with the history of the Pyrzyce Land. The building is listed in the heritage register.
