BETLEMSKA KAPLE

Betlémské nám. 4 / 255
Pulpit of Master Jan Hus — National cultural monument

Reconstructed universitarian chapel, established in 1391, is a place important not only for our history. Master Jan Hus, whose burning to death in July 6th 1415 is the pivotal moment in the czech history, became the preacher here in 1402. Even Martin Luther King named him as one of his teachers and therefore local Dům kazatele (The Preacher's House) hosts exhibition entitled "The Bethlehem Chapel in the Czech History and The Tradition of Non-Catholic Thinking."
