The Chapel of the Revelation to the Virgin Mary, ‘Chaloupka’, (the Little Cottage) built in 1696


The Chapel of the Revelation to the Virgin Mary, ‘Chaloupka’, (the Little Cottage) built in 1696 at the place where the original house stood in which the miraculous picture - the Virgin Mary of Klatovy holding in her arms the child Jesus, and to which is related not only the centuries old legend of miraculous healing, but also the authenticity of human blood on her injured brow - was for some time stored. Ever year at the time of the Klatovy Fair an important church procession takes place through the streets of the town honoring the memory of this painting. The town of Klatovy lies near to the south-western border of the Czech Republic with the Federal Republic of Germany.
