Klášterní kaple panny Marie andělské - Radimova 33/2

Sad that it is deteriorating

The new building of the Altoetting Chapel of the Virgin Mary and St. Kajetána was built in 1665-66, probably under the direction of the builder Jacob Goetzinger. The architect came from Austria, specifically from the town of St. Florian. The plot, not far from the places of the former Strahov Gate, was bought by Marie Eusebie, Countess of Martinice, née Šternberková. In 1649, the heir became the highest burgrave Bernard Ignác of Martinice. In 1665, he asked the Prague consistory for permission to establish a chapel in these places, which was granted. The building quickly became very popular. The famous processions took place in it, in which the high nobility also took part. The most important people who visited the chapel include Emperor Leopold I. The chapel was in the possession of the Theatines until 1783, when their Prague dormitory was abolished. The chapel then passed into the private possession of Jan Count of Hennet in 1789. It was consecrated in 1791 and gradually fell into disrepair, it was partially restored between 1964-68, today it is unfortunately in a catastrophic state. Together with the nearby homestead Malovanka, it is the saddest view in the whole of Břevnov.
