Chapel of Saint Barbara, Early Baroque chapel on Modla hill near Buchlovice, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saint Barbara is an early Baroque (late Mannerist) building from 1672–1673 on Modla hill in the Chřiby mountains, 3 km from Buchlovice. It stands on a Greek-cross plan with rectangular apses and a central lighting dome. Architectural elements from a 13th-century early Gothic chapel were reused in its walls.

A Gothic chapel existed here in the 13th century, first documented in 1412; its architectural elements were reused in the present building. Hanuš Zikmund Petřvaldský had the early Baroque chapel built in 1672–1673, and a Latin foundation charter of 1672 was found in the tower finial in the 1990s. A planned Trinitarian monastery for six monks was abandoned, though part of its foundation walls survives.

The chapel is a pilgrimage site where two services are still held each year: on Trinity Sunday in June and on the Assumption of Mary in August. Its popular name is Barborka, after Saint Barbara. A statue of the Virgin and Child from around 1700 stands nearby.

Access to the chapel is possible from nearby Buchlovice Castle, making it convenient to visit both locations together. Check opening hours in advance as these vary by season and local arrangements.

The chapel's main altar came from the Velehrad Monastery after Emperor Joseph II dissolved it; the original altar was moved in 1923 to the parish church of St Martin in Buchlovice. A white-and-black marble tomb of Zikmund II and his wife Josefina bears a majolica relief of the Madonna from 1520s Florence, bought in Paris in 1900.
