The Stone Gate was the eastern gate to Gradec town, was built in the 13th century.  In 1731 a fire destroyed much of this area, burning all the houses to the ground. The Stone Gate displayed a painting of Mary and Jesus which was "miraculously" undamaged by the fire. To protect the painting a chapel was built and the painting remains behind a metal grille. The painting is visited regularly by people who come to pray and leave gifts.
