Description:

The Orange Chapel of St. Joseph was built in 1811. She is a perfect example of the Rococo style. It has been open to the public since 1816.
The chapel has a high altar with decorative elements of Baroque and Neoclassicism. The statue of St. Joseph deserves special attention. It is very artfully carved and is considered part of the national heritage.
