The Chapel of Saint Joseph was built in 1776–1777 as the chapel of the town hospital in Roudnice nad Labem and has always belonged to the town. It later ceased to be used liturgically and was reconstructed in 1983. In 2011 Archimandrite Martin Marek Krupica arranged for the Orthodox community of Litoměřice to use it, and a separate Orthodox parish was soon established in Roudnice. The facade was repaired in 2024.
Since 2011 the chapel has served the Orthodox Church; the iconostasis was built in 2011 by Father Miroslav with helpers, and its icons painted between 2011 and 2014 by psalmist and iconographer Anton Jaržombek of Litoměřice. The chapel is a branch of the Litoměřice parish, and Divine Liturgy is served every Sunday at 9:30 (9:00 from 2011 to 2024).

The iconostasis inside was built in 2011 by Father Miroslav with helpers, and its icons were painted between 2011 and 2014 by the psalmist and iconographer Anton Jaržombek of Litoměřice. Its forms were chosen to match the chapel's Baroque architecture.
