Overview
Kaple Svaté Rodiny stands as a quiet reminder of Prague's past as a center of vineyards, having been commissioned in 1755 by the magistrate Karel Leopold Bepta. Located at the base of the Nusle Stairs, this small, square-plan building was once intended for destruction before being rescued and restored through the volunteer efforts of Old Catholic parishioners in 1970. Today, the chapel serves as an intimate place of worship with a vaulted presbytery and a distinct tent roof. For those interested in architectural history or a peaceful moment in Vinohrady, it offers a rare, grounded experience distinct from the busier tourist sites of the city center.
