Chapel V Lipkách

Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Lipky

The Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Lipky stands on the outskirts of Rýmařov and is considered a pearl of Baroque art in northern Moravia. It was built near the old hermitage at the very beginning of the eighteenth century and the builder of this oval chapel was Friedrich Hösler from Rýmařov.

Four massive columns support the magnificent vaulted ceiling. The chapel is heavily decorated by the Olomouc painter Ferdinand Naboth, who died before he finished painting the chapel, so his work was completed by his pupil Jan Kryštof Handke.
