Fugger-Kapelle (St. Anna, Augsburg)

Fugger Chapel in St. Anne's Church (Augsburg)

 

"The Fugger chapel, which is the burial chapel of the Fuggers, is the earliest example of Renaissance architecture in Germany. It was endowed in 1509 by Ulrich and Jakob Fugger." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Anne's_Church,_Augsburg

 

When the church became Protestant in 1548, the Fugger Chapel remained Catholic - until today.

The illuminated sculpture group at the bottom of the picture shows the Lamentation of Christ. It was created around 1512-1517 by the Renaissance sculptor Hans Daucher.
