Bethlehem Chapel

The Bethlehem Chapel was founded in 1391 by Wenceslas Kriz and John of Milheim. The building was never officially called a church, only a chapel, though it could contain 3,000 people; indeed, the chapel encroached upon the parish of Sts. Philip and James, and John of Milheim paid the pastor of that church 90 grossi as compensation. John Hus became a rector and a preacher in March 1402. After Hus's excommunication in 1412, the Pope ordered the Bethlehem chapel to be pulled down, although this action was rejected by the Czech majority on the Old Town council. After Hus's death, he was succeeded by Jacob of Mies.

Nowadays it belongs to the Czech Technical University in Prague and it is used as a concert hall or a meeting hall for celebrations and graduation ceremonies.
