The Chapel-burial vault of the Svyatopolk-Mirsky family, also called Spasskaya Chapel, stands in the urban settlement of Mir in Belarus's Grodno Region, near Mir Castle within its English-style park. Designed by Robert Marfeld and built between 1904 and 1910, it is classed mostly as Art Nouveau and is known for its dynamically asymmetrical composition and a tall bell tower. Its large mosaic panel of Christ Pantocrator dominates the interior, and the chapel forms part of the Mir Castle and Park Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
