Chapel of the Holy Trinity - Voderady

On the way to Pavlice and the field road to Veľký Grob, there is a neo-Romanesque brick roadside chapel of the Holy Trinity in a modern metal enclosure. A sculpture of the Holy Trinity is inserted in the niche behind the glass metal door. There is an illegible text on the mounted stone slab and the year 1869 dating back to its origin.

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity is a wonderful example of 19th-century romantic architecture. It combines elements of Romanesque, early Christian and Byzantine architecture. It dates from 1869, but with its unique architecture it gives the impression that it really comes from the Early Middle Ages from somewhere in southern Europe or the Levant (an area stretching roughly from Egypt to Anatolia in present-day Turkey). The color combination of bricks is typical of the Greek Catholic Church in present-day Bulgaria. The arch with columns is clearly Romanesque, inspired by ancient Rome in the style of the Carolingian and Ottonian Renaissance from the 8th and 9th centuries. Both styles were named after the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, then the main power of Europe. The heads of the columns bear the marks of the Apennine Romanesque style, in which, for example, the Cathedral of St. Mark in Venice. The whole composition is crowned with a stone cross of the Gothic style, the peak of which was reached in the late Middle Ages in the 13th and 14th centuries. The chapel is therefore an amazing imitation, which points to the great education of the architect. The whole looks like a piece from a jigsaw puzzle of a Bulgarian church. therefore, this exceptional unique is worthy of your visit.
