The brick building with the filigree tower was built in the 14th century as a house of prayer for the neighboring Holy Spirit Hospital. As early as 1899, the Uckermark Museum was housed in the chapel. In 1945 it burned down, along with important testimonies of regional history. In the meantime, it has received a new roof and is intended to be used for exhibitions. The city of Prenzlau is collecting donations to install windows in the building again.
