Less than three kilometres from the centre of Mariánské Lázně lies a very precious location in the Slavkovský Forest, the source of the Teplá River.

This place of worship was built in the neo-Byzantine style between 1844 and 1848.

Visitors can enjoy not only artworks but also film screenings dedicated to the life and work of the exhibiting artists. The combination of 19th-century architecture with modern art creates a unique atmosphere for an unforgettable cultural experience. The gallery’s curator is Alena Mrovcová.

Opening hours: daily 2:00–5:00 p.m.
