Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius

The Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius is a religious building in Břeclav constructed with traditional elements of Slavic ecclesiastical architecture. The structure displays both Orthodox and local Czech architectural influences in its construction and decorative details.

The chapel was established to honor two saints who created a written alphabet for Slavic languages and brought Christianity to the region in the 9th century. The building itself was built later as a historical monument to commemorate their influential religious mission.

The chapel displays architectural features rooted in Slavic-Orthodox tradition and functions today as a space for religious ceremonies and community gatherings. Visitors can observe how eastern and western Christian practices come together in the design and use of the building.

The building is easily reachable from Břeclav town center and is open to visitors on most days. It is helpful to contact the local tourism office before visiting to confirm current opening hours and learn about any available guided tours.

The building forms part of a larger route connecting multiple religious sites across Central Europe that trace the spread of Slavic Christianity. This route allows visitors to follow the historical movement of Christian practice throughout the region.
