The originally Gothic Bethlehem Chapel, is notable for its connection with the origins of the Bohemian Reformation and personage of John Huss (1372-6 July 1415) rector and preacher.

The works carried out on the Bethlehem Chapel were carried out in the “Prague’s historic centre”, a registered UNESCO heritage city centre. The subject of the technical and construction works was the dehumidification of the exterior of the western and northern sides of the Bethlehem Chapel, as well as the repair of the plaster of the western and northern facades of the building, including the plaster surfaces of the buttress (the elevated corridor) connecting the chapel with the neighbouring house. The subject of the restoration work was also the treatment of wall paintings in the interior of the chapel damaged by rising damp.
