Kaple Andělů Strážných, Orthodox chapel in Pustkovec, Czech Republic.
Description
The Chapel of Guardian Angels stands near Pustkovec District Office and features a single nave structure typical of small Orthodox churches. The interior contains wooden icons and an ornate iconostasis that forms the focal point of the sacred space.
History
The chapel was built in 1882 on land donated by the municipality during a period of Orthodox community growth in the region. It underwent repairs following damage during World War II and eventually came under Orthodox Church ownership in 2016.
