Chapel of Saint Peter and Paul, Baroque chapel in Čichalov, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of Saints John and Paul is a freestanding single-nave stone building with brick infill, a rectangular plan and a three-sided rounded presbytery, covered by a steep hipped sheet-metal roof. A four-sided lantern with a columned cupola and pyramidal cap sits on the ridge. The smooth facades have corner pilasters, two segmental-arched windows in the south wall, and a flat beamed ceiling inside.

The Baroque chapel was built in the 17th century on a slope north of Čichalov, originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In 1779 it was rededicated to Saints John and Paul, patrons of the weather, and later used by Protestants; the pastor Sixtus Müler is documented until his departure in 1824. It was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, then neglected and decayed after the German population was displaced following the Second World War.

The chapel was originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was re-dedicated in 1779 to Saints John and Paul, patrons of the weather. It later served Protestants; the pastor Sixtus Müler is documented until he left Čichalov in 1824. The altarpiece of the two saints was commissioned in 1844 by Johann Tausch of farmstead No. 1, as an inscription on its back records.

The chapel is situated in the village of Čichalov and accessible via local paths through the settlement. Plan ahead since it is in a rural location with limited services nearby.

The chapel is not in active worship use: after the German population was displaced following World War II it was left unmaintained and began to decay. A burglary in the early 1990s damaged the reliquaries and the altarpiece of Saint Florian. In 2022 the village obtained a grant to prepare documentation for the building's rescue, and it was still decaying in 2023.
