Kaple Matky Boží Veverské, Romanesque chapel in Brno-Bystrc, Czech Republic.

Kaple Matky Boží Veverské is a two-nave chapel about 400 m southwest of Veveří Castle. Its Romanesque core was partly rebuilt in Gothic style; the south Romanesque portal bears a tympanum with a Greek cross and two lions, and a late Gothic relief of a human face is visible on the east gable.

The chapel was probably built in the 12th century and is first documented in 1240, when a medieval village forming the outer bailey of Veveří Castle stood around it; the village vanished during the Hussite Wars. A hermitage beside the chapel was demolished in 1797. The Swedish tower was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, leaving only a small bell turret with two bells.

The chapel is a popular venue for church weddings and regular pilgrimages; services are held only irregularly, mainly on certain Christian holidays. The village that once surrounded it formed the outer bailey of Veveří Castle and vanished during the Hussite Wars.

The chapel stands on the Rakovecká road (II/384) on the plateau above the Brno Reservoir, at the edge of the Podkomorské lesy nature park. Services are irregular, held only on some Christian holidays; the building is a popular site for church weddings and pilgrimages. The nearest Catholic parish administering it is in Veverská Bítýška.

The south Romanesque portal's tympanum bears a Greek cross flanked by two lions, and a late Gothic relief of a human face is clearly visible on the east gable. The tower was demolished by the Swedes in the Thirty Years' War, leaving only a small bell turret with two bells.
