Chapel of the Finding of the True Cross

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.

In 1742, a soldier in Maria Theresa's camp found a metal cross embedded in a felled tree; the cross later passed to the empress. In 1743, during her coronation visit to Prague, she laid the foundation stone of a chapel dedicated to the Finding of the Holy Cross. It was consecrated on 25 August 1754 by Archbishop Jan Mořic Gustav Manderscheid.

The chapel was consecrated in 2016 to the Holy Cross and Saint Helena, since the feast of the Finding of the Cross was abolished and the main altar bears an image of Helena. Sunday Greek Catholic liturgies have been held here since June 2011, with an analogion and icons of the Theotokos placed in the presbytery and on the walls rather than in an iconostasis.

The chapel stands off the built-up area on the south side of railway line 122, between the Praha-Stodůlky and Praha-Zličín stops, about 150 metres west of the railway bridge over Jeremiášova street, above the Bílý Beránek bus stop. A gravel path leads to it from Jeremiášova street towards the garden colony and the Háje farmstead, and a road also runs to it from Háje. It is privately owned and opened for Greek Catholic services, so visits depend on the services rather than fixed opening hours.

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