Chapel of Ioannes Paulus II in Bukovany, Sacred chapel in Bukovany, Czech Republic
The white chapel features wooden ash elements on its facade and three windows at the top of its tower near the municipal office.
The chapel's construction fulfilled an 80-year community vision, with initial plans dating back to 1935 and completion achieved in October 2013.
The chapel contains a relic of Pope John Paul II - a drop of his blood from medical procedures following the 1981 assassination attempt.
The religious building serves both Catholic ceremonies and interfaith gatherings, while also hosting concerts and exhibitions throughout the year.
The chapel's construction resulted from a third community initiative after two previous fundraising attempts in the 20th century proved unsuccessful.
