In the middle of the old town cemetery in Göttingen is this beautiful old chapel, built around 1900. If you didn't know better, you might think it is surrounded by a well-kept park.

Directly opposite the main entrance is the chapel, built around 1900, at the end of the imposing plane tree avenue.

The chapel was built in the Byzantine-Late Romantic style based on the model of the Bismarck mausoleum in Friedrichsruh.
