Late-Baroque Chapel of St. Joseph (Kaple Sv. Josefa), originally hospital chapel built in 1767-1777, today serves as a parish church for the Orthodox community in Roudnice nad Labem.
Chapel of st. Joseph (patron of the dying and good death) was built as a hospital chapel at the Prague Gate. It was therefore the property of the hospital that existed here from the first half of the 17th century. Chapel is a late-Baroque structure, consisting of an entrance hall with a simple portal entrance and the space of the chapel itself, a square room vaulted into a dome topped by a lantern with four windows. The inner dome is decorated with a painting by an unknown author, depicting the four evangelists and the figural composition "The Blessed Virgin" and "Escape to Egypt". The altar of artificial marble dates from the second half of the 18th century.
