history
Just like the Salvator Church, the Margaret and Judith Chapel goes back to a pagan cult site at this point. The chapel burned down in 1587 and 1656. The current structure was built between 1689 and 1690. The chapel originally had three baroque altars, each dedicated to Saint Margaret, Saint Judith and Saint Helena. There are currently altars in the chapel that were originally created for the Salvator and Adalbert churches.
