The Chapel of St Mary’s Mantle in Freising / Germany is built from stacked plain tiles from the parish church of St. Georg in Ruhpolding.


The Chapel of Mary's Mantle is a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Mantle on Freising Cathedral Hill.

The chapel is located directly north of the Freising Diocesan Museum and was designed by Kiki Smith. The architects Brückner & Brückner Architekten were responsible for the renovation of the museum, which was completed in 2022.

The entire structure was built from stacked plain tiles from the parish church of St. Georg in Ruhpolding and was left unrendered. The tiles were replaced when the roof was renovated. The base area of the chapel is 4 × 4 m, with a height of 8 m. Both the roof with the cross gable and the entrance are built as a corbel arch or cantilever vault. A gilded dove sits on the north-western gable, facing west.
