Kaple Andělů Strážných

Kaple Andělů Strážných, Orthodox chapel in Pustkovec, Czech Republic.

The Chapel of the Guardian Angels is a single-nave building near the Pustkovec district office, originally Roman Catholic and now Orthodox. Its interior holds a wooden iconostasis with icons painted on wood, installed in 2007. The chapel was enlarged in 1975 and its walls once carried paintings by Valentin Držkovic, lost to damp.

The Chapel of the Guardian Angels was originally a Roman Catholic chapel built as a single-nave structure on land donated by the municipality in 1882, though it was consecrated only in 1926. Damaged near the end of World War II, it was repaired, and in 1949 the Silesian painter Valentin Držkovic decorated the interior with murals that later perished from wall damp. After lengthy negotiations, a permitted extension was carried out in 1975. The Roman Catholic Church lent the chapel to the Orthodox Church in 2003, and it has belonged to the Orthodox Church since 2016.

The chapel brings together worshippers from Czech, Ukrainian, Greek, and Belarusian backgrounds who share services in their own languages. This multilingual gathering makes the space a living meeting point for different Orthodox traditions within the neighborhood.

The chapel stands a short walk from the Pustkovec District Office, which makes it easy to locate. Orthodox services are held every Sunday from 9:00, mostly in Czech but also in Slavic dialects and Greek. Visitors should note that the interior is small, so arriving early is advisable on service days.

The interior underwent complete renovation after moisture damage destroyed original wall paintings created by Silesian artist Valentin Držkovic in 1949. This restoration gave the space a fresh foundation while adapting to the needs of its modern multilingual congregation.
