Kaple svatého Václava, Chapel in Holasice, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saint Wenceslas is a single-nave brick building on a low plinth, with a rectangular plan and a semicircular apse. Its smooth facade is divided by pilaster strips and a main cornice, and the nave walls each have one window with a semicircular arch and a single keystone. Above the rectangular entrance door rises a gable with low pillars, leading to a bell storey with corner pilasters and round-arched openings, topped by a pyramidal roof with a finial and cross.

A wooden bell tower stood on this site until 1840, when it was demolished and rebuilt in masonry with an altar and a painting of Saint Wenceslas. In 1848 the tower was converted into a chapel and dedicated to Saint Wenceslas; it was consecrated by Rajhrad abbot Viktor Schlossar. The chapel belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Rajhrad and is a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The chapel belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Rajhrad and is part of the Svatojakubská pilgrimage route. Each year the village holds the Václavské hody, a parish feast, at the chapel. The altar is flanked by statues of Saints Cyril and Methodius from 1858.

The chapel stands in the village of Holasice in the Brno-venkov district, within the Rajhrad Roman Catholic parish. It forms part of the Svatojakubská pilgrimage route, so it can be visited on foot along that marked trail. The building is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The chapel holds two bells in its bell stage. The original 35 kg bell of 1840, bearing reliefs of Saints Wenceslas and Ludmila, was requisitioned in 1916 during the First World War and replaced in 1923 by a new bell with the same reliefs. The second, a small death bell 20 cm high with a 27 cm lower diameter, is dated 1730 on the bell but is given as made in 1736.
