St. James Chapel and the old cemetery

Medieval chapel and cemetery for travelers looking beyond the obvious highlights of Sopron.

St. James Chapel and the old cemetery is a medieval chapel and cemetery that earns its place as a see/do stop for Sopron. The appeal is partly architectural and partly historical, with enough texture to reward travelers who like places where the past is still visible in stone, layout, or setting.

It works best when you give it time rather than dropping in between bigger sights. Walk around the exterior if access is limited, look for the details that show how the site was used, and use it as a quieter counterpoint to the busier parts of Sopron.
