Chapel of Saint Michael, Religious chapel in Úpice, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of Saint Michael is a religious building located in the town of Upice within the Hradec Králové Region, situated at roughly 352 meters in elevation. The structure displays typical features of a chapel and contributes to the architectural character of this area in northeast Bohemia.

The chapel was built in 1698–1699 by Úpice parish priest Martin Benedikt Hůlek, who intended it as his own tomb and named it after his father Michal Hůlek; the priest was buried here after his death. A cemetery surrounded the chapel until it was abolished in the second half of the 19th century. The building was reconstructed in 1994.

The chapel's dedication to Saint Michael refers to Michal Hůlek, father of the parish priest Martin Benedikt Hůlek, who had it built as his own tomb and was buried here. In the former cemetery around it lie 31 soldiers who fell in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, and a memorial in front of the chapel commemorates them.

The chapel is situated near the I/14 road that connects Trutnov to Náchod, making it fairly easy to reach. Those interested in religious buildings in northeast Czech Republic will find it a straightforward spot to visit.
