Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus, Chapel-shrine in Křinec, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus in Kristinec is a small religious building located in this municipality of the Central Bohemian region. The structure has been recognized as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic and preserves part of the area's local religious heritage.

The building came into being during a period when devotion to Saint Wenceslaus was deeply rooted in Bohemia and local chapels played important roles in community life. Its recognition as a cultural monument highlights the value it holds for regional history and identity.

The chapel's name comes from the sandstone statue of Saint Wenceslaus inside its niche, shown in armour with a cloak, a princely crown and the Stará Boleslav Palladium on his chest, holding a banner in his left hand. Below the niche, a polished black-grey granite plaque quotes the Saint Wenceslaus chorale: "Svatý Václave, vé vodo české země, nedej zahynouti nám ni budoucím!"

The site is not always openly accessible, so visitors should contact the local tourism office or Kristinec municipality in advance. This helps clarify when and how the building can be visited and what options are available for seeing it.

The sandstone statue of Saint Wenceslaus inside the niche is life-size and wears the Old Boleslav Palladium on his chest, a small medallion of the Virgin and Child. He stands in contrapposto with his right foot forward, holding a banner in his left hand and a prince's crown on his head.
