Bethlehem Chapel in Žižkov

Tourist attraction Church

👍 A mysterious place in the middle of Žižkov, which has its own atmosphere. The surroundings of the chapel are well maintained and the surrounding buildings have nostalgic pavilions. Perfect place for urban fighting and escape games. People often mention chapel, building, church,

    (Translated by Google) A special building from outside, but if you come in, you will enjoy both visual and acoustic listening organ ... (Original) Zvlastni stavba z venku, ale vejdete- li dovnitr, uzijete si jak vizualne tak i akusticky pri poslechu varhan...

    The namesake of the famous chapel in the Old Town is so perfectly hidden in the courtyard of the apartment buildings on Prokopova Street that even some locals don't know about it. I didn't expect to get to it - in the case of the Vysočany or Skranáky church, the entrance door to the fronted house was locked. In this case, however, the passage was wide open, so I was able to see the chapel up close, though unfortunately only from the outside. In 1912, the company Matěj Blechy was entrusted with the construction of the chapel. The author of the project is probably the architect Emil Králíček, who at that time worked in Blech's design studio. Approval for the building was issued on June 21, 1913. The ceremonial opening took place on June 29, 1914. The building combines elements of Cubism and late Art Nouveau and is exceptional in that it (as the only one in Prague) has preserved the original Cubist interior.

    Beautiful place, looks better from the inside than from the outside (don't judge a book by its cover ;))

    I was there for a "vernissage", the works of Pavel Novák followed by a concert by the Chapel band. Otherwise the Chapel itself is very simple in terms of its architecture. Quiet place.

    This place is magical just because it is hidden :) in the middle of a block of flats in the yard...a beautiful building with a perfect atmosphere.

    Great, a real gem hidden in the courtyard of an apartment building. The church was built in 1913 and is a Cubist work of art, with appropriate painting. The parish that runs the church is alive. Visit the church. It is an experience.

    Ve vnitrobloku se schovava takova krasna historicka stavba. Kdybychom nesbirali turisticke vizitky, asi by nas ani nenapadlo vlezt do pruchodu a objevit takovy otisk historie.
