Kaple, Chapel in Mírová, Czech Republic

Kaple is a chapel in Mírová featuring a rectangular body with a semicircular presbytery, slate roof, and prismatic bell tower. The building integrates these structural elements into a cohesive composition.

The chapel was built in the second half of the 19th century in romantic neo-Gothic style at the initiative of Anton Heinl, mayor from 1889. It was slated for demolition in the 1970s, but survived, passed into municipal ownership in 1992 and was declared a cultural monument in 1996. Repairs ran from 18 April 1996 for three years, and a new bell was hung in 1999.

The chapel's interior holds a ceramic sculpture by academic painter Petr Strnad, which replaced the former altar with its painting of the Ascension of Christ. The building passed into the ownership of the municipality in 1992, and a new bell was hung in the chapel in 1999.

The chapel stands freely on a low unplastered stone plinth, oriented north-south, with the entrance on the north facade. It measures 7.36 m long and 4.14 m wide, so it is a small structure seen from the village lane. The slate-covered saddle roof turns to a hipped roof over the semicircular apse.

The chapel was to be demolished in the 1970s, but the demolition never took place. A new bell was hung in the chapel in 1999, after repairs carried out from 18 April 1996.
