AB  - The Gothic Corpus Christi chapel was built in 1382-1393 in the centre of current Charles square in the Nové Město of Prague. This article reviews the history and transformation of this chapel in the period of its decline after the Hussite movement, since the Kompaktaten proclamation in 1487 till the year 1784, when the chapel was abolished, closed and demolished shortly afterwards. Although Bohemian and European reformation of the 16th century encountered here through Thomas Müntzer, all that time the chapel was only an insignificant University sanctuary and also its necropolis, donated in 1628 to the Jesuit order.
