St. Michael's Chapel
Kaplnka sv. Michala
A 14th-century Gothic cemetery chapel south of the cathedral. Above its doorway is a relief of the archangel Michael weighing souls.
The chapel was built in the second half of the 14th century as the cemetery church of the city. Above the main portal, a carving shows the archangel Michael holding scales to weigh souls, a masterpiece of medieval sculpture in Košice. Some Gothic murals survive inside. The chapel, together with the cathedral and Urban's Tower, forms the oldest architectural ensemble in the Old Town. It is usually visited on a combined ticket with the cathedral, but its opening hours are short.
