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 stands with white walls and decorative elements characteristic of 18th-century baroque religious architecture.
Empress Maria Theresa commissioned this chapel in 1743 to commemorate the discovery of a metal cross in a tree stump during the French siege of Prague.
The interior of the chapel contains preserved frescoes that represent religious themes connected to the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helena.
The chapel maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors who can reach it by taking public transportation to the Stodůlky district of Prague.
Local resistance fighters Josef Hlušička and František Kellner died near the chapel in May 1945, and a memorial stone marks their sacrifice.
