The Bohnice Institutional Cemetery in Prague has completed the first major stage of its revitalization through the reconstruction of its central chapel. The eight million CZK project transformed the long-neglected ruins into a modern memorial space by integrating historical masonry with contemporary architecture.

A key element of the design is an open structure made of corten steel, replacing the original wooden rafters. The shape is intended to resemble a ‘crown of thorns’, symbolizing suffering, vulnerability, and hope. The chapel is scheduled to officially open to the public on October 1.
