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

The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk features two prominent steeples, intricate architectural details, and fourteen decorative panels near its steeple depicting the saint's life.

The chapel underwent transformation from its original 1640s structure to the current Baroque design in 1734, created by architect K.I. Dientzenhofer under Adolf Bernard's supervision.

Annual masses commemorate the birth and martyrdom of Saint John of Nepomuk, attracting residents and pilgrims to this cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The main nave remains open to visitors during regular hours, while access to secured sections requires advance arrangements with the chapel administration.

The chapel structure notably lacks painted ceilings, a departure from typical Baroque design, due to financial constraints during its construction period in the 1730s.
