St Magdalen's Chapel is a neo-Gothic style chapel at Wolli Creek which is now deconsecrated and has been restored as part of the Discovery Point redevelopment. The Sisters of the Good Samaritan built it in 1888 and it is believed to be designed by Sheerin & Hennessy, a firm of Sydney architects. The sisters bought the Greenbank estate in 1884 for a charitable refuge for women.

It has a Georgian feel and regarded as one of the great houses of Sydney. It was named after the 'Vale of Tempe', a beautiful valley in ancient Greek legend set at the foot of Mount Olympus in Greece.
