beautiful, quiet, divine place

The simple chapel with an oval floor plan of an unknown consecration (originally perhaps St. Louis) in the former vineyard in today's Seminary Garden is in its beginnings associated with the Order of Barefoot Carmelites. It was probably built in the first half of the 18th century, but could have been modified from an older building. František Ekert mentions the hermitage with the chapel of the Baby Jesus, which was allegedly built by Alžběta, Countess Oppersdorfová, as early as 1659. However, the first certain time is not until 1769, when it was recorded on Huber's prospectus. After the abolition of Carmel in 1786, the monastery garden was transferred to the property of the archbishop's seminary and the chapel perhaps served as an astronomical observatory (its use "for scientific tasks" was mentioned in 1903).
