Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua, Chapel in Sadová, Brno, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua is a house of worship in the Gothic Revival style located in Sadová, Czech Republic. The building displays the hallmarks of this style through its tall vertical lines, pointed arches, and narrow windows that define its religious character.

A chapel stood here by the mid-19th century, when processions to the spring were credited with saving Brno from plague. Builder Říha of Židenice rebuilt it in 1924 into roughly its present form and the surrounding area, including the stairway to the spring, was landscaped. After 1948 it decayed; volunteers from Lesná and Královo Pole repaired it in 1995.

Locals call the chapel U Antoníčka. Pilgrim Mass is held on the Sunday nearest 13 June, the feast of Saint Anthony of Padua, and May Sundays bring Marian devotions. Before the war, food stalls and a band stood here on Sundays.

The chapel stands in Sadová near the Lesná housing estate, by a spring whose flow varies and which dries up in dry spells; the water is not drinkable. Outdoor Mass is held on the Sunday nearest 13 June, the feast of Saint Anthony of Padua, with May devotions on May Sundays.

Near the chapel were buried soldiers from the Battle of Hradec Králové who died of cholera in a Brno hospital; their remains were moved to the Central Cemetery in 1902. In 1888, Czech associations met here and used the proceeds of an outing to build the first Czech kindergarten in Brno-Královo Pole.
