This cylindrical chapel in Fryštávk embodies early Christian influences through its circular floor plan, raw brick construction, and atypical gable roof, creating a unique interplay of tradition and innovation.
The design of the Chapel of St Anthony of Padua reflects Franciscan values of humility and simplicity, integrating circles to signify life's cyclical nature. It provides a serene sanctuary for silent contemplation, embodying poverty, renunciation, and learning.
The austere interior of the chapel features unplastered walls and minimalistic furnishings, with brick as the primary material. The Greek cross relief functions as a light source, and the carefully curated details and symbolic furnishings highlight Saint Anthony's virtues of authenticity and humility.
