Chapel of Saint John the Baptist, Cemetery chapel in Slavkov u Brna, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of Saint John the Baptist stands in the northwest part of the cemetery on Špitálská Street in the Špitálka suburb of Slavkov u Brna. Its ground plan is a trefoil cross: a rectangular single nave with oval side chapels and a transverse oval presbytery under a tall dome, with lower domes over the chapels and crossing. A low, hipped-roof sacristy adjoins it to the east, and the former hospital building connects on the west.

The chapel was established as part of the cemetery to serve religious needs in the local community. Its creation is tied to the development of the burial grounds, which has been important for the area for generations.

The chapel is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, whose image stands on the main altar beneath the alliance coat of arms of the Kounic-Rietberg family. The north chapel is consecrated to the Virgin Mary and the south chapel to the Crucified Saviour; both were restored in 1882, when statues of Our Lady of Lourdes and a crucifix were made for their altars.

The chapel is easily accessible on foot within the cemetery grounds. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and dress respectfully, as it remains an active burial site.

The Kounice family tomb beneath the south chapel was established in 1795 by Arnošt Kryštof of Kounice-Rietberg. Seven members of the family were buried there over about a century, including Václav Antonín of Kounice-Rietberg (1711–1794), Austrian state chancellor under Maria Theresa, Joseph II and Leopold II. A marble figure of a lying child by Emanuel Max, dated 1861, commemorates an infant of the Czech branch.
