Description
Once upon a time there was an estate in the town of Replya with the Gleiser and Zavadsky palace, of which nothing remains. The Neo–Gothic church and the burial chapel in the cemetery have been preserved to this day.
The chapel belonged to the Gleiser family and was built in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style. The chapel itself resembles a kind of fairy-tale castle in the form of a stone tower. There is a crypt under the tower. A brick corridor is attached to the tower, through which you must pass to get into the crypt. The tower is built of brick and rubble stone.

Replya. The chapel is a tomb.
The main decoration of the town of Replica is the Neo-Gothic church of the Virgin Mary. But an unusual architectural monument, the Gleiser Chapel, has been preserved in the local cemetery to this day.
Since the 18th century, there has been an estate in Replya that belonged to the Gleiser and Zavadsky families. The manor palace was made of wood with outbuildings and gates.
A 19th-century chapel of the Gleiser family has been preserved in the local cemetery.
On the way from the agro-town of Volpa to the Replya on the left side, when approaching the Replya, there is an ancient cemetery. A pre-revolutionary chapel, a tomb of original architecture, stands among the cemetery.
The chapel building is built in the form of a tower, completed with a high spire. The tower is built of brick and rubble stone. A pattern is laid out around small stones. To get into the crypt, it is necessary to pass through a rectangular elongated volume from the back, which is built in the Neo-Gothic style and is more than six meters long. The annex and the tower have lancet neo-Gothic windows.
