Chapel in Houska Castle, Gothic chapel inside Houska Castle, Blatce, Czech Republic
The chapel displays fading frescoes of medieval characters and exhibits architectural features characteristic of early thirteenth-century Gothic construction methods in Bohemia.
Built during the reign of Ottokar II in the second half of the 13th century, this chapel formed part of an administrative center overseeing royal estates.
The chapel contains late-Gothic wall paintings depicting religious figures, including images of Saint Catherine and representations from Christian mythology.
The chapel remains open for visitors throughout regular castle hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages through advance reservation.
The chapel stands directly above a deep pit that, according to regional tales, reaches into supernatural depths, leading to its construction as a spiritual barrier.
