Von Elbe Family Burial Chapel in Karnice

The von Elbe family burial chapel stands in Karnice in Gryfice County, next to the Church of St Stanislaus Kostka and a disused former cemetery. It was built in 1880 as a family mausoleum.

A Neo-Gothic brick chapel

This slender brick building stands on a rectangular plan over a square crypt. The entrance is a pointed-arch portal supported on columns, with a medallion with a bas-relief of the head of Christ. In the gable wall above the entrance can be seen a window with tracery and a cartouche with the arms of the von Elbe family. The chapel was entered in the heritage register in 2010.
