Kaple svatého Cyrila a Metoděje (Chapel of St. Cyril and Metoděj )

Site Hlavatá

History It is a small pseudofolk chapel of Scandinavian type. The logged chapel with a rectangular ground plan was built in 1922 and was consecrated to Cyril and Metoděj. The main portal has a small roof above in the form of reduced undergable known from folk constructions. Supporting columns are decorated with wood carvings, exactly as the flat panel framing of the windows. The gable above the entrance contains a folk wood carving of the Virgin Mary. In the interior your eyes will be caught by the window vitraille with figures of chapel patrons.

The entire architecture already at first sight reminds of the architectonic autograph of Dušan Jurkovič, which we can encounter not only in well-known objects of tourist shelter huts at Pustevny, but also in the wooden chapel in Horní Čeladná or wooden belfry in Trojanovice - Bystré.
