Chapel of the Finding of the True Cross, Baroque chapel in Stodůlky, Czech Republic.
The Chapel of the Finding of the True Cross is a baroque building in Stodůlky with white walls and decorative details from the 18th century. The interior features preserved frescoes with religious scenes.
The chapel was commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa in 1743. It was built to commemorate an event that took place during the French siege of Prague.

Two local resistance fighters, Josef Hlušička and František Kellner, died near the chapel in May 1945. A memorial stone in front marks their memory.
