Chapel of St Anne, Baroque chapel in Mnichovo Hradiště, Czech Republic

The Chapel of St Anne is a Baroque structure integrated into the Capuchin monastery grounds, displaying typical features of the Baroque style in its design and decoration. Its interior spaces show the ornamental approach common to religious architecture of this era.

Countess Marie Markéta Valdštejnová, born Černínová, had the chapel built in 1723–1724 to add space for St Anne's services to the adjoining Church of the Three Kings; the Capuchin P. Jan Vyškovský directed the work. In 1785 Vincenc z Valdštejna moved the remains of Albrecht of Wallenstein and his wife Lukrécie Nekšovná from the dissolved Carthusian monastery at Valdice into the chapel.

The chapel was built for services to Saint Anne, whose cult also produced the sandstone statue of the saint by Josef J. Jelínek standing in front of the monastery since 1713. The main altar painting by Jan J. Hertl shows Anne teaching the Virgin Mary, with views of Wallenstein castles in the background.

The chapel is linked to the Capuchin Church of the Three Kings and stands beside the Mnichovo Hradiště Castle garden. Since 1966 its interior has held a lapidarium of some fifty sandstone Baroque sculptures, so space is shared with the exhibits. The sandstone figures and stucco decoration are fragile; keep a distance and do not touch them.

Inside the chapel lies a burial site holding the remains of a major military figure from the 17th century who shaped European conflicts. This tomb creates an unexpected link between this small religious space and larger historical events.
