Chapel of Saint Florian in Kladno, Baroque chapel in Kladno, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of Saint Florian features an oval structure with a dome and two towers on the facade, crowned by a Benedictine cross on its roof.

Construction began in 1751 under architect Kilián Ignaz Dientzenhofer, but the chapel remained unfinished until 1872 due to various interruptions and funding challenges.

The main altar displays a painting of Saint Florian by Vilém Kandler, accompanied by side chapel artworks depicting Saint Benedict and Saint Prokop.

The chapel stands on T.G. Masaryk Street, 200 meters from Kladno's main square, hosting regular church services including Sunday liturgies at 11:00 AM.

A plague cemetery established in 1679 surrounded the chapel, serving as the main burial ground for Kladno until 1831 following Emperor Joseph II's burial regulations.
