Chapel of Saint Adalbert of Prague in Neratovice, Religious chapel in Neratovice, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saint Adalbert is a rectangular early Baroque building with a semicircular apse and a decorative facade, standing on Vojtěšská Street at the boundary of Neratovice and Libiš. A six-sided lantern rises from the hipped roof above the altar. Inside, a wooden Baroque altar shaped like an oak frames an oval painting of Saint Adalbert, with smaller oval paintings of Czech saints in its branches.

Count Ferdinand William Slavata had the chapel built in 1666 on the initiative of Bohuslav Balbín, on the site where, by tradition, Saint Adalbert was beaten and robbed of his shoes by pagan ferrymen after crossing the Elbe from Stará Boleslav. The early Baroque building was later modified and is now protected as a cultural monument.

The chapel is linked to the legend of Saint Adalbert, who, travelling from Stará Boleslav, was robbed by pagan ferrymen after refusing to pay for the crossing across the Elbe and merely blessing them. They beat him here and took his shoes, which earned the people of Neratovice the nickname "zouváci" (the shoeless ones). A stone in the floor before the altar, under a decorative grille, is said to keep the imprint of Adalbert's staff or footprints.

The chapel stands mid-way along Vojtěšská Street on the boundary between Neratovice and Libiš, at a spot historically called "V Hájku"; the land itself belongs to Libiš. It is normally closed and opens only occasionally for Roman Catholic services of the Neratovice parish or events such as the Night of Churches.

The building earned status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, registered under number 29395/2-1392. This designation highlights its importance in national heritage and ensures its preservation for the future.
