Burghaus Castle, Bavaria, Germany -- When we think Gothic, we usually think cathedral. Instead, here is a simple chapel to inspire the fortress. Called by many names including the obvious St. Mary's and the more arcane Hedwig's chapel. This jewel of late Gothic architecture was built by fortress architect Ulrich Pesnitzer from 1479-89 during the last 25 years of the fortress construction (which took about 250 year in total.)
