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

The Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius on Radhošť is a stone building with a Byzantine-style dome and wooden shingle roof standing at the summit of Radhošť mountain at 1129 meters high. The structure has a simple yet dignified form with an entrance area and a marble altar inside.

The chapel was consecrated in 1898 by Olomouc archbishop Theodor Kohn; it was first a stone building with white plaster and a Byzantine-style dome. In 1924 a complete repair added a wooden bell tower with a shingle roof and clad the whole chapel in impregnated shingles against damp. President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk visited on 23 June 1928, recorded on a bronze plaque in the entrance hall, renewed in 2005.

The chapel's stained-glass windows show Czech saints such as Saint Wenceslas, and each bears the name of a donor from a nearby village. Above the entrance reads the inscription "Love one another, Slavs, and unite in the faith preached here by Saints Cyril and Methodius". The bronze plaque in the vestibule recalls President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk's visit on 23 June 1928.

The chapel stands at the summit of Radhošť, the highest church building in the Czech Republic, so check the mountain weather before setting out. The wooden bell tower with a shingle roof, added in 1924, stands beside the chapel. The Matice radhošťská association from Trojanovice, founded in 1905, maintains the building and directed the bell tower's restoration in 2000.

The chapel is the highest-situated church building in the Czech Republic. The sculptural group of Saints Cyril and Methodius outside is the work of Albín Polášek. The Matice radhošťská association from Trojanovice, founded in 1905, restored the wooden bell tower in 2000.
