Chapel of Saint Elizabeth, Religious monument in Uherské Hradiště, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saint Elizabeth is a Gothic chapel on Vodní Street in Uherské Hradiště, founded in the early 15th century. Its rectangular entrance hall leads through a pointed-arch portal into a polygonal presbytery with a cross-ribbed vault and a five-petalled rose on the keystone. The southeast facade preserves the original Gothic presbytery with three pointed-arch windows and two buttresses; the northwest front was unified by an 1849 facade with pilasters and an elliptical window.

Built in the early 15th century beside the town hospital near the Staroměstská Gate, the chapel served as a hospital chapel until the early 20th century. Repaired in 1610, it was damaged by the town fire of 1643 and partly rebuilt in the early Baroque style, as the 1656 date on a side portal shows. After 1849 two side wings and a new façade were added; between 1904 and 1918 the chapel housed a butcher's shop and later a joinery, was closed in 1964 and abolished in 1965, and reopened as a pharmacy in October 1998.

The chapel's name recalls Saint Elizabeth, patron of the sick, fitting a chapel built for a hospital. Its vault keystone bears a five-petalled rose, the emblem of the lords of Moravan, likely founders, beside the name Kusna, a townsman who also contributed to its construction.

The former Gothic chapel is entered from Vodní Street, where its northwest facade with pilasters and an oval window faces the street. The pharmacy occupies the original rectangular entrance room and the polygonal presbytery behind the pointed-arch portal. The building stands near the site of the demolished Staroměstská Gate.

On the vault keystone of the Gothic presbytery is carved a five-petalled rose, the emblem of the lords of Moravan, likely founders of the chapel, beside the name Kusna, a townsman who also contributed to its construction.
