Ticháčkova kaple, Religious chapel in Ticháčkův les, Czech Republic.
Ticháčkova kaple is a wooden chapel in the Ticháčkův les forest near Suchý Důl, built in neo-Gothic style in 1897 by carpenter Lambert Mrnka of Police nad Metují. The replica stands on Božanov sandstone blocks, has a gable roof of copper sheeting, and a tower with a tented roof, gilded finial and cross. Its green exterior contrasts with white windows and doors, whose arched panes are set with blue, green and red glass.
The chapel was built in 1897 at the location where religious visions were reported between 1892 and 1895. These events later inspired the construction of the building as a memorial site.
The chapel is also called Ticháčkova kaple after Ticháček's forest, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared repeatedly. A rosary staircase leads up to it, and a healing spring flows nearby. A bell hangs in the tower, and the windows are glazed with blue, green and red glass.
The chapel stands in the Ticháčkův les forest above Suchý Důl. A Rosary Staircase (Růžencové schodiště) leads up to it, and a healing spring rises near the building. The site is not a protected monument and lies on an unmarked woodland path.
The chapel underwent complete reconstruction after a fire in 2010, with the local community raising funds to rebuild it. The restoration was completed within two years, showing how important the site is to the region.
