Chapel of Holy Trinity, Religious chapel in Švařec, Czech Republic
The Chapel of Holy Trinity is a small house of worship positioned along the road toward Brťoví, built with brick walls and topped by a wooden tower shingled with tiles. The structure appears modest and integrates naturally into the countryside.
The first religious service held here took place in 1596, establishing it as a place of worship for the area. A major restoration in 1857 reinforced the building and ensured its survival through subsequent centuries.
The chapel serves locals as a place for private prayer and is maintained by the community. Its simple design reflects the religious traditions of rural life in the region.
The chapel sits in a rural setting and is accessible by foot or vehicle via the country road toward Brťoví. Visitors should plan to arrive during daylight hours, as the remote location offers little nighttime illumination.
This chapel was documented in 1798 in a publication called 'Moravian Views' by Jan Nepomuk, making it one of the earliest recorded religious buildings in the area. The fact that it caught the attention of artists and record-keepers shows it held local significance even centuries ago.
