Funeral chapels with mural paintings at the village cemetery in Albrechtice nad Vltavou in South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic. Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the Pieta and the Vision of Saint Hubert are depicted in the chapels from left to right. Funeral chapels placed on the cemetery wall were decorated with murals in the 1840s by local painter František Mikule conducted with parish priest Vít Cíza, who also composed poems for each mural. The murals were repainted several times during the 19th and 20th centuries and completely restored by the team led by Jitka Musilová in 2010-2013.
