Saint Hubertus chapel, Chapel in Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, Czech Republic
Saint Hubertus Chapel is a Neo-Gothic place of worship in the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, featuring a triangular shape, three Gothic arches, and sandstone construction. The vault displays ribbed detailing that defines the interior structure.
Prince Alois II of Liechtenstein commissioned architect Jiří Wingelmüller to build this Neo-Gothic chapel in 1855 as part of the cultural landscape's development. The project formed part of broader shaping plans for the region.
The chapel displays a central statue of Saint Hubertus, the patron saint of hunters, alongside angel figures that reflect the region's hunting traditions. These religious representations shape the interior and connect the place to local customs.
Visitors can reach the chapel through marked walking routes, including the yellow trail from Břeclav to Hlohovec and the red path from Valtice to Lednice. Accessibility varies with weather conditions and the best visits occur during drier months.
Craftsmen carved specific marks into the sandstone blocks to replicate medieval stonemason signatures, giving the structure an artificially aged appearance. This technique made the new construction look like a much older building.
