Sugar Drawer.
Where: Gravensteen, Ghent, Belgium
What: The count’s chapel, located at the front of the gatehouse of the castle. The altar stood below the cross-shaped window. Later it was turned into a prison, deriving it’s name (sugar drawer) from the metal cage in which prisoners were locked.

This is lovely, in spite of the less than joyful purpose.
I’m reminded of a church in Valencia that asserted it housed the Holy Grail.
