Kaple svaté Kláry - Pod Havránkou 7

Chapel of St. Klára A smaller sacral monument, the baroque chapel of St. Kláry is above the chateau, the place of the chateau should rather be called a villa, and it is in Troja. There is a chapel at the top of the hill, below it there are vineyards on the slope and they then stretch down in a coordinate arrangement along the entire southern slope. It is a quiet and beautiful place. Above all, it is also a building visible from afar. From the chapel of St. Klára is a beautiful and beautiful view of a large part of Prague. From here there is a huge view over the entire panoramic horizon, which lies in front of you. Quiet and peaceful place for contemplation, rest and remembrance. Weddings are also held here. A truly unforgettable and magical place. Then the area of ​​the Botanical Garden Prague - Troja continues.

The magnificent vintage in the Botanical Garden has a distinctive atmosphere. Great natural environment can entertain the whole family. The accompanying music program perfectly matched the program.

Beautiful place. We had a wedding here and if you do not choose a time when the temperature is over thirty degrees, then ideal for a wedding. Otherwise, it's hell because you can't hide anywhere.

chapel with a beautiful view ...

Like the Troja Chateau, the Baroque Chapel of Sts. Klara was built in the 17th century by Václav Vojtěch Earl of Šternberk (perhaps the architect may be Jean Baptiste Mathey, who designed the castle). It stands on a historic and listed vineyard and creates an impressive view point over the whole Troja. Like the vineyard, it is consecrated to St. Clare, the patroness and namesake of the Countess of Malta, the wife of the Count of Sternberg - Klára Bernardina. The first application for building permission was submitted in 1691 on the grounds that people living in the vicinity of the chateau cannot attend church services due to frequent floods. The chapel has a rectangular ground plan, from the roof of the chapel grows a small turret, covered with pyramidal quadrilateral roof, topped with a finial and a cross. The simple interior is a single room with a brick floor, a flat ceiling and a distinctive green screen. After the fire in 1924, the chapel was given a new roof, the chapel underwent its last repair in 1996. It is open every Sunday from 1 September to the end of June during the Mass from 11 am to 12 pm (masses are not held during holidays). The botanical garden allows visitors to enter the chapel during some events - such as Advent Meditation in December, or during the June "Church Night". Interesting Fact: At one time it was said that the chapel haunted at night. Almost regularly around midnight a bell rang in the turret. After a while everything was explained - a small monkey from the zoo found a hole in the fencing and went on a nightclub to swing from the bell. Like the Troja Chateau Klara was built by Vaclav Vojtech the Count of Sternberk in the 17th century, (the architect may be Jean Baptiste Mathey, who designed the castle). It stands on top of a historic vineyard, creating an impressive sight over the entire Troja. Like the vineyard, it is dedicated to St. Klara, patron and namesake of the countess of the Count of Sternberk - Klara Bernardina from Maltan, Vojtech's wife. The first application for building permission was filed in 1691 on the grounds that people living around the castle could not attend the worship due to frequent local floodings. The chapel has a rectangular ground plan, a small turret, covered with a pyramidal quadrangular roof, ending with a poppy tree and a cross growing from the roof of the chapel. The simple interior is made up of a single room with a brick floor, a flat ceiling and a distinctive green screen. After the fire in 1924 it was given a new roof, the chapel was last repaired in 1996. It is open every Sunday from September 1 until the end of June during the Holy Mass from 11 am to 12 pm (closed during the summer holidays). The Botanical Garden allows visitors to enter the chapel during some events - such as Advent Meditation in December, or during the June Night of Churches. Funny fact: It was told once that ghosts are haunting in the chapel at night. A bell started to ring in the tower almost regularly around midnight. Finally, people found out that the little monkey from the zoo found a hole in the fencing and she loved to swing the rope from the bell during her night walks ...

Beautiful Chapel on a hill above the Troja vineyards. We reached here through the entire Botanical Garden from the northern entrance in Bohnice. We sat for a while on the lookout behind the chapel and enjoyed the views of the city, whose glory stars ...... but you know it. There were a few people here early this afternoon. We were excited.
