The Russian Orthodox Chapel is an Eastern Orthodox church building in Weimar, Germany, built of brick in the Russian Revival style. Constructed in 1860 as a funerary chapel for Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia, it stands in the Historical Cemetery behind the Weimarer Fürstengruft, to which it is linked by an underground passage. Her coffin lies in that passage beside that of her husband, Charles Frederick.
