The Chapel of Bethlehem, also known as the Chapel of Bethlehem, is closely associated with the name of the Czech national hero and righteous Jan Hus, whose faith was so strong that it raised the people to a 14-year war and changed the course of history. Self-denial and responsibility for others, even on the verge of the death penalty, did not allow the preacher to give up why he taught others. This chapel is a monument to the life and death of the famous orator, linguist and reformer who dedicated himself to the publication of the truth.
