Chapel of Ioannes Paulus II in Bukovany

Chapel of Ioannes Paulus II in Bukovany, Sacred chapel in Bukovany, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Ioannes Paulus II in Bukovany is a white religious building with contemporary design situated near the municipal office. The structure features a tower with several windows and incorporates ash wood as an architectural element on its exterior.

Construction began in September 2012 and the chapel was consecrated on 20 October 2013 by Olomouc archbishop Jan Graubner. It is dedicated to Pope John Paul II, whose canonisation followed on 27 April 2014. No church or chapel had stood in Bukovany for almost 800 years.

The chapel is named for Pope John Paul II, canonized on 27 April 2014, shortly after the building was consecrated. It falls under the administration of the Catholic Church but is open to members of other faiths, and its founders intended it for concerts and exhibitions as well as worship.

The chapel stands in the centre of Bukovany, near the municipal office, and the land belongs to the village. It falls under the administration of the Catholic Church but is open to members of other faiths, and concerts and exhibitions are planned there. Bukovany lies close to Kyjov in the Hodonín district.

The main relic in the altar is a drop of John Paul II's blood soaked into a piece of his clothing during an autotransfusion after the 1981 assassination attempt. The chapel was consecrated on 20 October 2013, before his canonisation on 27 April 2014.
