Cemetery chapel in Kralupy nad Vltavou, Cemetery chapel in Kralupy nad Vltavou, Czech Republic

The chapel of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God is a small cemetery chapel built in 1932 next to the Kralupy nad Vltavou cemetery. It is a single-room building with a simple facade, now adapted inside for Byzantine-rite Orthodox services, with an iconostasis holding icons of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God painted in 2024.

The chapel was built in 1932 next to the Kralupy nad Vltavou cemetery for funeral ceremonies. It gradually fell out of use and decayed after a new ceremonial hall opened, and was repaired only in 2011. In 2014 a Orthodox parish was established in Kralupy, and in spring 2015 the town lent it the chapel for Byzantine-rite services. It is not a protected monument.

The chapel is used by the Orthodox church community founded in Kralupy nad Vltavou in 2014, which was established for the growing number of Orthodox believers who had been commuting to churches in Prague and Roudnice nad Labem. Its first priest, Martin Beneš, had previously served as a deacon in the Roudnice Orthodox community. Services follow the Byzantine rite every Sunday and on major feast days.

The chapel stands by the town cemetery in Kralupy nad Vltavou and belongs to the town, which lent it to the local Orthodox parish. Orthodox services are held every Sunday and on major feast days, so visitors should time a look inside around those services. The building is not a listed monument.

The chapel is not a protected monument. It was built in 1932 for the neighbouring cemetery, lost its use after a new funeral hall opened, and stood dilapidated until repairs in 2011. Since spring 2015 the town has lent it to the local Orthodox parish.
