Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk, Baroque chapel-shrine in Slavonice, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk is a small plastered hall chapel on a square plan with a semicircular apse, standing by the bridge over the Slavonický potok on Nádražní street in Slavonice. Its semicircular portal is framed by a white pilaster strip with a marked keystone, the corners are rounded and the walls divided by pilasters on a socle. A saddle roof of sheet metal tops a gable with rounded wings, crowned by a sheet-metal figure of the crowned Virgin Mary.

The chapel is a small masonry building with a square plan and a semicircular apse, documented as an example of the survival of Baroque forms in the Czech lands into the early 19th century. Its walls carry surviving fragments of original frescoes, including four scenes of the legend of Saint John of Nepomuk. The vault is painted as an open sky with the Eye of God inside an eight-pointed star.

Saint John of Nepomuk, the patron of bridges and water, is honored throughout this chapel with imagery and devotional spaces. Local people and pilgrims visit to pay respects to this Czech saint, whose story remains woven into regional faith and identity.

The chapel stands on Nádražní street by the bridge over the Slavonický potok, at house no. 191, a short walk from the centre of Slavonice. It is a small hall building with a square plan and a semicircular apse, entered through a round-arched portal. Look for the sheet-metal figure of the crowned Virgin Mary on the gable and the ceramic tiles on the sides of the gable.

The vault is painted as an open sky with pink clouds, cherubs and the Eye of God inside an eight-pointed star, all above a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. The four oval medallions on the walls show scenes of his legend, from hearing the queen's confession to his body being thrown from Charles Bridge.
