Bethlehem Chapel, Prague |
The chapel has a rather simple interior. It's basically a large square room.

The decor has a few frescoes.

The pulpit is simple but is definitely the center of attention. There is no altar and a small loft for a choir.

The well inside predates the chapel. It does not seem to have any liturgical use and was a delightful surprise to my children.

Upstairs is a suite of rooms, presumably used by Hus or others for offices. There is a bridge from a building across the street where the preacher lived. The rooms are now an exhibit hall about Hus's life and theology.

Hmm, I never saw this. Where was it?
