Chapel of the Holy Cross, Religious chapel in Nové Dvory, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a small religious building in Nové Dvory that displays traditional Czech architectural features with its solid masonry construction. The structure shows the typical design elements common to regional religious buildings of its era.

The Chotků family acquired the Nové Dvory estate in 1764. Jindřich Chotek founded the family tomb chapel on the wish of his grandfather Jan Rudolf Chotek, builder of the Kačina chateau. The initial design was by Johann Philipp Jöndl, but it was built to revised plans by Antonín Arch. Construction began in 1829; the crypt was consecrated on 19 May 1829 and the chapel on 15 August 1831. It was robbed in 1926.

The chapel is the burial place of 21 members of the Chotek family; four of them, including Jan Rudolf Chotek, founder of Kačina Castle, were moved here from a vaulted grave in the local cemetery after construction. Small children of the family share a single niche. The building belongs to the town of Nové Dvory.

The chapel sits along the route connecting Prague and Kutná Hora, making it accessible by road. Visitors should know that the site lies within a protected monument area and is best explored on foot.

The chapel was robbed in 1926. Its crypt, beneath the whole interior, has a vaulted corridor 2.1 m wide and 5.5 m long, with twenty burial niches in two rows; two niches remain empty. Four cast-iron angel candlesticks were donated by Archbishop Ferdinand Maria Chotek.
