Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul, Empire-style chapel in Veselá, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul is an Empire-style brick chapel with a bell tower, built in 1830 on the village green of Veselá. The tower is made of sandstone blocks and has a richly decorated stone portal; the nave is of brick with a barrel-vaulted ceiling and two semicircular windows, plus a round window above the altar.

The chapel stands on the village green on the site of an earlier wooden bell tower. In 1830 a stone bell tower was built, repaired in 1898, and a chapel was added to it at that time. The chapel was plastered in 1956 and has been a protected monument since 1967.

The wooden altar was made by František Kouška, and its painting of Saints Peter and Paul is by Rudolf Livora. In the ground floor of the bell tower hang images of the Archangels Gabriel and Raphael with a crucifix, and modern paintings of little angels flank the altar. The original bell by the Prague bell-founder Diepold was requisitioned during the war.

Regular religious services take place on Thursdays and Fridays at 18:00 and Sundays at 09:00 throughout the year. Visitors should check current opening times beforehand to ensure the chapel is accessible.

The tower's upper level is reached only by a ladder through an opening from the nave. The original bell, cast by the Prague bell-founder Diepold, was requisitioned during the war and no longer hangs here.
