Chapel of Visitation of Holy Virgin Mary
Chapel of Visitation of Holy Virgin Mary, Religious chapel in Karlov, Czech Republic
Description
The Chapel of Visitation of Holy Virgin Mary sits in a shallow valley along Tichá brook in the Jizera Mountains. The building houses a natural spring whose water flows continuously throughout the year, nestled within the forested mountain landscape.
History
An original wooden chapel was built in 1762 and later replaced by a stone structure in 1803 under Count František Antonín Desfourse's direction. This construction change reflected a shift toward a more permanent building.
Culture
The site served as a pilgrimage destination, especially during Marian celebrations, when visitors from surrounding areas came seeking the spring water for healing. For many people, the chapel and its source represented a place of spiritual connection.
Practical
The site remains open to visitors and sits within a forested mountain region suitable for hiking. Good footwear is recommended since mountain paths can be challenging and uneven.
Did you know?
A local farmer discovered an image of a saint while plowing his fields, after which his ailing wife found healing through the spring water. This story shaped the site's importance as a refuge for the ill and those seeking recovery.
