Czech Republic St. Vitus ruine
Chapel and next summer house... Ruined after 1848.
In 1782 the last hermit left the chapel. During the Josephine reforms, the chapel was abolished by a decree of 28 July 1786 and stripped of all equipment and furnishings. On 29 April 1788, the original chapel was demolished and the new summer palace was opened on 20 September 1788. After 1848, the building gradually deteriorated until the walls collapsed.
