Chapel of St. Cyril and Metodej - Chudobin, Czech Republic - Orthodox Churches on Waymarking.com

The construction of this chapel is an evidence of religious disputes in the beginning of the 20s of the 20th century a big determination of the believers of Chudobín and surrounding villages. It is a rather large building. Together with the presbytery it is situated in a small park. It was built in 1923 –1925. It is interesting that after it had been built till 1935 it was used by the orthodox church. Josef Žídek, a priest, who also helped to build an orthodox cathedral, organized all these vents.

In the Chapel there are pictures of the saints by Alois Kucer, a painter from Litovel, and in 1966 they brought an organ here from an evangelic church (Red Church) that had been closed down. There are regular services in the church.
