Baroque St. Jude the Apostle Chapel (kaple Sv. Judy Tadeáše), a part of complex of Chateau Dobrichovice (zámek Dobrichovice), serves nowadays as a filial church of Revnice Roman Catholic parish.
St. Jude the Apostle Chapel forms the western wing of the Chateau Dobrichovice, which was built at the site of Gothic fortress from the 14th century. Chapel is a single nave-Baroque building with a square hall. The Chateau, originally Renaissance, suffered during the Thirty Years War when it was burned down by the Swedish army and almost destroyed in 1639. Under the grand master of the Order of Jirí Ignác Pospíchal, the chateau was reconstructed and the new Baroque St. Jude Chapel was constructed (ca 1676). One hundred years later the castle burnt down again, but it was rebuilt in the next. On the original Renaissance foundation, the building was rebuilt in the late Baroque style and chateau clock tower was also added. Nowadays, the Chateau is again the property of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star who are gradually reconstructing it.
