Piscina niche & Aumbry - Castle Chapel of St George - Ljubljanski Grad - Ljubljana - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

A niche for a piscina, with ogee arch, in the east wall of the chapel chancel. It has a green painted border with floriate designs at the corners.
In the north wall of the chancel is a square niche or aumbry for storing sacred vessels and vestments. It too has a painted border, more colourful than the piscina, and has a faux ogee arch.

"The original entrance to the chapel was on the northern side, to which lead thirteen steps that are still in use today. Later, the entrance was shifted to the southern side. The original Gothic chapel had a wooden ceiling, four Gothic pointed windows and a gallery where prominent citizens took the holy mass. It was rebuilt in the Baroque style and in 1747 was decorated with the coats-of-arms of the provincial governors. It is rare for church buildings to be decorated with secular content, and the chapel is therefore regarded as a genuine jewel amongst European sacred buildings.

During the renovation in 1992 the chapel’s original gothic paintings were also discovered on the borders around the altars, the entranceways and the window openings. On the walls are dedication crosses in the Gothic style, which symbolise the Stations of the Cross."
