Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius on Radhošť, Religious chapel on Radhošť mountain, Czech Republic

The stone chapel features a Byzantine-style dome and wooden shingle roof at the summit of Radhošť mountain, reaching 1129 meters above sea level.

Construction of the chapel started in 1896 under architect Skibinsky's design, replacing an earlier stone cross that marked Christian conversion from pagan worship.

The interior showcases regional Valacchian traditions through stained glass windows depicting saints and a painting of the Valacchian Madonna in traditional dress.

Visitors can reach the chapel through a four-kilometer trail from Pustevny or by using the chairlift station in Trojanovice with available parking.

The marble altar stands as the highest church structure in the Czech Republic, featuring an entrance inscription reading 'Love, Slavs' above its doorway.
