'''Matteo Castelli''' (c. 1555, [Melide, Switzerland](/source/Melide%2C_Switzerland) - 1632, [Warsaw](/source/Warsaw)) was a Swiss architect. His nephew [Costante Tencalla](/source/Costante_Tencalla) also became an architect. Further can be attributed to Castelli: in Kraków the church of St. Peter and Paul (1613–1619, the only church north of the Alps in the Roman Baroque style), the [Zbaraski](/source/Zbaraski) princely chapel in the [Dominican](/source/Dominican_Republic) church (1627-1629) and the altar of St. Stanislaus in the cathedral, also in Vilnius cathedral the chapel of St. Casimir (1626–1636), the [Ujazdowski](/source/Ujazd%C3%B3w_Castle) palace and the royal residence near Warsaw. In Melide he donated a memorial chapel in 1625-1626 and rebuilt the altar of his family in the parish church.<ref>[Celestino Trezzini](/source/Celestino_Trezzini): ''Matteo Castelli.''
