All Saints Church, Gothic chapel in Prague Castle, Czech Republic
Description
All Saints Church is a chapel standing beside Vladislav Hall within Prague Castle and displays characteristic Gothic architectural elements. The building features a simple interior with stone arches, altars, and extensive wall paintings.
History
The chapel was built in the 14th century under the influence of Peter Parler, one of the most important architects of his time. After a devastating fire in 1541, the building was reconstructed and then blended Gothic and Renaissance styles.
Culture
The walls inside display detailed paintings showing the life of Saint Procopius, whose tomb is kept within this sacred space. These images give visitors a visual window into how this local holy figure was venerated.
Practical
The chapel can be visited only as part of a guided tour of the castle or during special events like concerts. It is wise to wear comfortable shoes, as accessing it involves walking through multiple staircases and pathways across the castle grounds.
Did you know?
The building has a direct connection to the Old Royal Palace and allows immediate passage during religious services or musical performances. This physical link means visitors can reach the chapel without taking an external route through the castle grounds.
