Chapel of Holy Guardian Angels in Sušice

Chapel of Holy Guardian Angels in Sušice, Religious monument on Stráž peak in Sušice, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of Holy Guardian Angels, locally called Andělíček, stands on Stráž hill at 551 m, 85 m above Sušice. Its central sanctuary is enclosed by a 1735 cloister walk with inner arcades on a nearly square plan, about 25 m on the outer side, with four corner chapels and three gates. The present central chapel was rebuilt in 1935–1936 to a design by Karel Pecánek.

Ladislav of Bílina, guardian of the Sušice Capuchin monastery, had the chapel built in 1682, or 1681 according to some sources, with contributions from Alžběta Meřková and Polyxena Weissenregnerová. It was consecrated on 3 August 1683 by Prague auxiliary bishop Jan Ignác Dlouhoveský. A cloister with arcades was added around it in 1735; in 1935–1936 the central chapel was demolished and rebuilt larger, consecrated again on 6 September 1936.

The name stems from a local story about a guardian angel protecting a child at this location. This legend continues to shape how the community views and visits the place.

Access to the chapel involves climbing to Stráž peak, from which you can view the town and surrounding landscape below. The site is walkable and rewards visitors with a wide view for those willing to make the hike.

The chapel's form inspired Karel Pecánek's design for a Baroque villa with a mansard roof, built for the Skal couple whose land lay below the hill on the opposite bank of the river. The chapel stands 85 metres above the town on Stráž hill, at 551 metres above sea level.
