kaple Panny Marie (Telnice) Chapel
The Chapel of the Virgin Mary is located in the village Telnice and is one of the important sacral buildings of the Bohemian parish. It's a neo-gothic community chapel, which the local community built in 1860. The construction grew at a time of deep economic transformation in the surrounding area - nearby mining in the mine Antonín Zapocký gradually changed the landscape and location.
The chapel can thus also be seen as part of the fight of the local community for preserving its identity and духовní tradition in the midst of industrial changes. The building is not the first of a series of chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the region. In Lower Varvajov, a part of the village later significantly affected by mining, stood the older Mariánska Chapel, which came from around 1840 and stood by the dam of the pond there. But it was a victim of urbanization and mining - the demolition was in 1970 with the surrounding building. The chapel in Telnica can thus be seen as a kind of raw material and a new center of Marian respect for local believers.
Architecturally, the chapel is a building of the order of modesty, but arbitrary. It is a rectangular structure with a triangular conclusion and a characteristic polygonal bell tower dominating the shield. The façade is decorated with Lizzy frames and decorative torches of sharp arcs, which are typical of period neo-gothic ideal. The interior has been rebuilt in modern times and there is no bell. It is, therefore, more a chapel for personal prayer and private worship than for loud Mass Service - it does not serve regular Mass.
The chapel was first reopened more seriously in 1994. However, a significant break came in the summer of 2015, when not only the facade was restored, but also the copper roof was completely replaced. With this intervention, the building has acquired a new life and should be able to carry out its mission for the next long years. To this day, it remains a silent but beautiful testament to the devotivity of past generations and their determination to preserve the local religious tradition.

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary is among the significant sacred buildings of the Telnice municipality and is one of the central chapels of the Chlumeč parish.
Its history is connected with Varvažov, which originally consisted of two parts, Upper and Lower Varvažov. Both had a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The larger Lower Varvažov was largely demolished due to brown coal mining at the Antonín Zápotocký pit.
The older Marian chapel stood in Lower Varvažov in the middle of the village, by a pond dam. It dated from around 1840. It was demolished in 1970 and disappeared along with the surrounding buildings.
The younger chapel has been preserved. It stands by the thoroughfare road under a railway crossing in Telnice and dates from 1860. It was restored in 1994 and again in the summer of 2015. At that time, the façade was repaired and the copper roof was replaced.
It is a neo-gothic parish chapel with a rectangular floor plan and a three-sided chancel. Above the gable rises a multi-sided bell tower, though there is no bell in it. The façade is articulated by pilaster frames and a string course of pointed arches. The interior furnishings are modern.
Regular masses are not held in the chapel.

For kids
About 166 years ago, in a small village of Telnica, people built a beautiful chapel that we still admire. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary is like a beautiful tree whose roots have been deeply rolled into the past and the branches have developed to the heavens. It's a neo-gothic chapel with a three-sided ending, which is like the smile of the Virgin Mary, and a polygonal bell tower that rises above it like the head of a hero in a fairy tale.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring brings awakening nature around the Erzgebirge Mountains, when the surrounding walls and meadows begin to green and the first spring flowers bloom. Sun rays penetrate fresh air and create fine lighting that gives sacral architecture a fresh and peaceful feel, ideal for quiet contemplation without the presence of crowds of tourists. In this period it is worth to start in the morning when the air is the cleanest, but do not forget the fixed and waterproof shoes, because the field roads in the village Telnice can be wet and slippery after melting snow or spring rains.
Summer moons attract famous days and long evenings, during which the setting sun radiates the facade of the chapel with warm shades of golden light. In the main tourist season here you can come across a slightly larger movement of tourists heading for nature, which is why it is the best time for a quiet visit to early morning hours or later in the evening when the biggest heat of the day falls. Due to the open area, don't forget the headgear, plenty of fluids and light breathable clothes that you appreciate during a possible hike along the surrounding tourist routes.
Autumn turns the landscape into a colorful palette of tones from yellow to dark red, which together with frequent morning fog and low sun creates an extremely photogenic, to melancholic atmosphere. In this period, you will meet only a few people at the monument, which wishes a deeper perception of the place, but the weather is usually fickle. It is therefore recommended to put on several layers, including a fan, because autumn winds from the valley can quickly cool the air, and the most appropriate time for the tour is noon, when the fog usually dissolves and the most daylight appears.
Winter covers Telnica in a snow blanket and offers a quiet, peaceful environment where the only scene is the crunch of snow under your feet and early dimming. The lighting is very specific in winter months due to sharp, cold light reflecting from snow, which partly replaces the absence of lush vegetation. Since the chapel is located in an area with a colder sky, it is essential to choose warm winter clothes, hat, gloves and quality winter shoes with anti-slip soles. Visit the memory best around noon to take advantage of the maximum length of daylight, as it soon burns.
