Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus and Saint Agnes of Czech

Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus and Saint Agnes of Czech, Religious chapel in Šošůvka, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus and Saint Agnes of Czech is a Roman Catholic chapel built in 2001–2002 in a modern style to a design by architect Monika Sirná, at the edge of Šošůvka beside the local cemetery. Its sanctuary holds an altar, ambo and large cross of clear cut glass by Valér Kováč, and paintings of the two patrons by Jaroslav Šerých hang on the wall.

A bell tower that had stood in the village was demolished in 1942 because it was in a state of disrepair. From the 1970s the village sought a hall or chapel for ceremonies, and in 2000 the civic association Šošůvská kaple was formed to plan and realise the building. The modern-style chapel, designed by architect Monika Sirná, was built in 2001–2002 and consecrated in September 2002 by Mons. Jiří Mikulášek, vicar general of the Brno diocese.

The chapel is dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus and Saint Agnes of Bohemia, whose painted images by Jaroslav Šerých hang on the wall. The upper part holds a 91 kg bell named after Saint Ludmila. The altar, ambo and large cross are made of clear cut glass by Valér Kováč.

The chapel stands at the edge of Šošůvka next to the local cemetery, with a public car park beside it intended for cemetery visitors. Near the building are the remains of the foundations of a Dutch-type windmill called Větrák, and a wooden cross with a stone base from 2014 stands by a field path nearby.

The chapel's bell, hung in the upper part of the building, weighs 91 kg and is named after Saint Ludmila, grandmother of Saint Wenceslaus. The altar, ambo and large cross in the sanctuary are made of clear cut glass by the artist Valér Kováč.
