- Sušice - Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes - a pseudoromantic pentagonal building with a five-sided onion-shaped bell tower on the ridge of the roof. The construction of the chapel was initiated by a burgher and shoemaker named Tomáš Krčmář from Sušice. After gradually losing seven children, he decided to build the chapel to honor St. Philomena for the protection of his eighth child and his wife. The construction of the chapel was supported by an unknown burgher who received inspiration in a dream to donate statues of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Joseph to the chapel. The foundation stone of the chapel was laid on June 15, 1887, and it was consecrated on September 25, 1887. Since then, processions have been regularly held, including a light procession of believers on World Day of the Sick, which coincides with the date of the Lourdes apparition, on February 11. The processions have been held regularly since then.
