Lamberg Chapel
The Lamberg Chapel, or actually Salvatorkapelle , is the youngest of the four chapels in the courtyard of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Passau and the mortuary of Prince-Bishop Cardinal Johann Philipp von Lamberg (1689–1712).
It is located on the northwest corner of the courtyard, north of the Trennbach Chapel . The new building from 1710, a hall with bevelled corners, was placed in the Gothic cathedral cloister by Jakob Pawanger , which was demolished in 1812. The altar follows a design by the Passau sculptor Joseph Hartmann; the baroque original is no longer available. The ceiling frescos by Johann Paul Vogl are about the last things . They show the resurrection of Christ above the altar and the Last Judgment on the main surface . Death, the devil and God are depicted on three cartouches . In the chapel there is also the painting of the Assumption by Andreas Wolff, originally created for the cathedral .
The positive in the Lamberg chapel was built by Johann Ignaz Egedacher in 1737 for the Vornbach monastery. In 1954 it was brought to Passau and restored there by Orgelbau Eisenbarth .
The Passau Bulgarian Orthodox parish of St. Anna celebrates its services in the Lamberg Chapel . On Holy Saturday the chapel serves as the Holy Sepulcher , where the Order of Knights of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem keeps watch.
