Chapel of the Holy Cross, Baroque chapel in Prague Castle, Czech Republic
The Chapel of the Holy Cross stands within Prague Castle's second courtyard, featuring architectural elements that define 18th-century Baroque design principles.
Court architect Nicolò Pacassi designed the chapel between 1758 and 1763 during the reign of Maria Theresa, when Prague Castle underwent substantial modifications.
The interior contains sculptures by I. F. Platzer and walls painted with biblical scenes from both the Old and New Testaments.
The former treasury of St. Vitus Cathedral now functions as a Prague Castle Administration shop, accessible during regular castle visiting hours.
From 1961 to 1990, the chapel displayed the St. Vitus treasure collection, including liturgical objects, chasubles, jewels, and religious artifacts.
