Chapel of Saint Vladimir in Mohelnice, Religious chapel in Mohelnice, Czech Republic
The Chapel of Saint Vladimir is a former evangelical church built in 1906 in Mohelnice. It has a rectangular plan with a three-sided apse and a hipped roof with a front gable. The building later served the Czechoslovak Hussite Church and the Orthodox Church, and since 2025 it has been run by the local movement Za naši Mohelnici as a cultural and social centre.
The building was erected in 1906 as an evangelical church for the German-speaking evangelical community of the nearby city of Zábřeh. Its founding under German administration marked an important phase of religious diversity in the Moravian region.
The Orthodox Church stopped using the building in 2025, and the Czechoslovak Hussite Church no longer had a purpose for it either. The local movement Za naší Mohelnici then took it over and runs it as a cultural and social centre under its programme Kostelík žije, while respecting the spiritual character of the site.
The chapel is located on Olomoucká street at number 216/177 and can be reached from both Olomoucká and Okružní streets. Access is possible from multiple sides, which allows for flexible visiting routes.
The interior of the chapel displays decorative details, including a shell motif in a central niche and vine patterns on the side decorations of the gable. These small ornamental elements add a touch of refinement to the otherwise simple structure.
