Kaple svatého Tadeáše Chapel

Kaple svatého Tadeáše is located in the village Otice on the road leading to Opava, where it connects to the local Opava street. It is a construction of a late Baroque style, which in its architecture follows the classic features of this time - a simple, efficient solution without great beauty. The building is walled with a rectangular plan and is covered with a saddle roof, which corresponds to the typical solution of chapels and smaller churches of this era.

During its duration, the chapel served its original purpose - a place for prayers and religious ceremonies of the local community. Today, however, her function has completely changed. The chapel currently lacks any internal inventory and does not serve entirely religious purposes. It's not even protected as a cultural monument.

The administration of the building is in charge of Moravskoslezský kraj, the right to manage and manage the chapel has a school farm in Opava. In 2017, the State Representation Office decided to offer the chapel for sale, indicating that the owner of the building no longer finds a reason for it in the regional administration. Since then, the chapel has stood in its place as a silent reminder of past times when it played a vital role in local life.

For visitors interested in the Czech architectural past and Baroque buildings, the chapel is an interesting witness of the time. Although today it has lost its original function and has no interior decoration, its appearance testifies to the appearance of rural chapel in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries - modestly, pragmatically, without any effort at great representation, but consistently and faithfully.
