Chapel of the Holy Cross
Chapel of the Holy Cross, Castle chapel in Budňany, Czech Republic
The Chapel of the Holy Cross, located in the Great Tower, features white marble walls with brown elements and paintings depicting biblical narratives.
The chapel underwent significant modifications during the classical period of the 19th century, when statues of Saints Peter, Paul, and John of Nepomuk were added.
The interior walls display extensive murals depicting scenes from both the Old and New Testament, painted during the 1850s renovation period.
This sacred space now functions as an exhibition hall, presenting the St. Vitus Cathedral Treasury collection to visitors throughout the year.
From 1961 to 1990, the chapel served as the primary exhibition space for the St. Vitus Treasury, the largest collection of Czech crown jewels.
