Chapel of Saint Anne, Baroque chapel in Prkenný Důl, Czech Republic.
The Chapel of Saint Anne is a single-storey square building of the bell-tower type, oriented roughly to the southeast. Its roof combines mansard and bell-shaped forms with chamfered edges, drawing on Baroque vocabulary. Pairs of round-arched windows light the interior, which holds a small altar imitating Baroque style.
Local residents paid for the chapel's construction in 1843 and maintained it themselves. After 1945 upkeep lapsed and the building deteriorated; it was repaired in 1968 and reconsecrated in 1969. Heritage protection dates from May 1958. The facade was renewed in 2009, and between 2010 and 2011 the masonry was consolidated, the structure stabilised and a new floor laid.
