The small Holy Trinity Chapel on Lokvina Square in Kastav dates back to the 15th century and is a cultural monument. The interior, comprised of a sanctuary of frescoes with old Glagolitic writing, has proven to be an astonishing inspiration and demanding exhibit space for modern artists of all trades. That is the reason why this gallery is a great challenge as an exhibit space for most of today’s artists. The chapel’s gallery has been used as a gallery space for more than a decade (since 1995), and has profiled itself for exhibits since 2005 with its program of selected authors and professional curators. Most exhibition programs take place during the Kastav Cultural Summer manifestation (from June to the end of August), and covers all dates which are important for the city of Kastav: St. Helena and Kastav Town Day. The exhibit space is equipped with standard gallery equipment and reflectors, as well as technical staff and security services, and working hours during exhibits is daily from 10 a.m. to noon and 6 to 9 p.m.

From 2008, the Holy Trinity Chapel Gallery was included on the list of official galleries in the Republic of Croatia. Its program proceeds under the organization of the Kastav Cultural Summer Association. The activities and program is financed by the Town of Kastav, while co-financing is provided by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia and

Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. Part of the exhibition program is financially assisted by the Kastav Tourist Board.
