kaple svatého Prokopa (Pertoltice pod Ralskem) Chapel
The chapel of St. Prokop in Pertoltice under Ralsk is a historical monument located in the village of Pertoltice pod Ralskem in the district of Česká Lípa, Liberecký kraj. This large neo-gothic chapel was built in the early 20th century and is remarkable by its architecture and history associated with local agricultural traditions.
The origin of the chapel can date back to 1907- 1908, when it was built according to Max Wieden's design from Mimona. The consecration of the chapel took place on 12 October 1908 by the district vicar J. Tschörchem. The dedication to Saint Prokop, the patron saint of farmers, reflected the prevailing agricultural nature of the village. The origin of the chapel was related to the historical period of historism, when neo-gothic structures were often built.
The architecture of the chapel is characteristic of the neo-gothic style, which is typical of the times of history. Max Wieden designed a structure that became the center of the religious life of the village. After 1948 the chapel began to decay and was closed, which lasted until the start of repairs in 1990.
The Chapel of St. Prokop belongs to the Roman Catholic parish Mimin. Although sometimes in tourist guides it is mentioned as a church, it is officially a chapel. Every year there is a service on the feast of St. Prokop on 4th July.
Today, the chapel of St. Prokop in Pertoltice under Ralsk is available to visitors and is worth visiting not only because of its historical value, but also because of its unique neo-gothic design. Its importance as a centre of local religious life and its connection with the traditions of agriculture add to its attractiveness.

The Chapel of Saint Prokop in Pertoltice pod Ralskem in the Českolipsko region is a large neo-gothic building. The locals often call it a little church, and some tourist guides even list it as a church.
It was built between 1907 and 1908 according to a design by Max Wieden from nearby Mimoň. It was consecrated on October 12th, 1908 by the district vicar Tschörch. The village was inhabited mainly by farmers at that time, and therefore the chapel was dedicated to Saint Prokop, whom they revere as their patron.
After 1948 the chapel was closed and fell into disrepair for many years. Renovations only came after 1990.
Today it belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Mimoň and in the catalogue of the Litoměřice bishopric it is listed as the Chapel of Saint Prokop. Every year a mass is held in it on the feast day of its patron, July 4th.

For the photography of the chapel of St. Prokop, the best places can be found on its western side, where lighting is ideal in the evening or afternoon to capture the details of architecture.
