Aka Requiem for a Horse
The Chapel of St. John the Baptist was built in 1861 as a token of gratitude to the local landowner Marie Novotná-Malá for the fact that her people, returning from the fields, survived a lightning strike that hit their carriage unscathed. The only one who did not survive was the horse. And it is to him that the exhibition is dedicated.
