From the Czech Kingdom only one domus leprosorum is known in Prague, at the Church of St Lazarus, first mentioned in AD 1280. The only documented find in which a diagnosis of leprosy is highly likely comes from Moravia. In Late Gothic and Renaissance artwork, leprosy appears in only one figural depiction - a painting known as the "Panel with Three Apostles", dated to c. 1510.
