Hraběcí kaple - Unnamed Road

Just a chapel ruin ...

Often we walk around is another chapel. Unfortunately in bad condition.

The Earl Chapel near the forest road near the village of Stračí between Chcebuzí and Liběchov was built in 1720 to commemorate the events of 1720, when Count Johann Wratislav Clary of Snedovice was plundered and shot there, passing through the carriage to Snedovice. The perpetrators were (except the cook who allegedly led the plot) caught and punished. The Earl's daughter had this chapel built on the scene of the murder. Some sources also report that the wife of the Earl, who was also to be conspired, was buried beneath her. The chapel consists of a simple square pillar, built of sandstone blocks, with mitered corners, the remains of pilasters are visible at the corners and you will find flat niches with a compressed arch on all four facades. Today, the building is in a desolate state, overgrown with grass and shrubs. Perhaps the reconstruction will be similar to the nearby Virgin Mary Chapel (you can find it a few tens of meters from the Count's Chapel, at the crossroads of the road from Brocno to Stračí). She would certainly deserve it. You can find it if you follow the yellow hiking trail from Želíz to Štětí near the Mordloch cave and the sandstone formation Seven Breads. The chapel on the forest road near the village of Stračí between Chcebuz and Liběchov was built in 1720 in memory of the deadly event, when Johann Wratislav Clary from Snedovice was shot and killed, passing through the carriage to Snedovice. The perpetrators were caught and punished in addition to the cook who allegedly led the whole conspiracy. The Count's Daughter built a chapel at the Place of Murder. Some sources also report that the wife of the Earl, who was supposed to participate in this conspiracy, was also buried under the chapel. The chapel consists of a simple square pillar made of sandstone blocks with frayed horns, with pilasters seen at the corners. Today, the construction is unfortunately in desolate condition, overgrown with grass and bushes. Perhaps the reconstruction will take place soon, just like the nearby Chapel of Our Lady (you will find it just a few dozen meters from Count's Chapel, at the junction of the road leading from Brocno to Stračí). It would definitely deserve it. You will find the following yellow tourist sign from Želízy to Štětí near the "Mordloch" cave and the sand-formation "Seven Breads".

Another stop on the route of the robber Štětka. Historical value yes, otherwise nothing much.
