The chapel-mausoleum, built at the end of the 19th century in Klaipėda, is a notable architectural monument reflecting the Neo-Gothic style. This unique structure was commissioned by Bronacki, a member of the Klaipėda Masonic Lodge "Murphy," as a memorial to his deceased wife. It is said that her remains rested in the building's basement, while the upper part housed a chapel for worship, constructed from natural stone masonry with distinctive red brick facade detailing.

2020, as part of a cultural heritage restoration and preservation project, the chapel's foundations, facades, and roof structure with its authentic tile covering were renewed. Additionally, masonry and wooden floors were restored. During the restoration, a stone plinth was installed around the building, and the protective river embankment was rebuilt, enriching the surrounding landscape with European spindle trees. This restored chapel-mausoleum in Klaipėda can now once again be appreciated as one of the most important examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the region, symbolizing the preservation of cultural heritage and commemorating historical memory.
