Saint Anna chapel in Chełmsko Śląskie, Catholic chapel in Chełmsko Śląskie, Poland.
Description
Saint Anna chapel is a rectangular stone and brick religious building with a neo-Gothic tower located on a hillside in this Silesian village. The interior contains a single nave with a separate sanctuary area covered by wooden ceiling construction.
History
The building was constructed in 1699 to replace an earlier place of worship destroyed during the Thirty Years War. Major expansions occurred between 1721 and 1722, establishing much of its current form.
Culture
The chapel serves as a pilgrimage destination where visitors encounter the Stations of the Cross along the slopes and experience a space for personal prayer. The site weaves religious practice into the surrounding landscape, drawing people who come to pause and reflect.
Practical
The site is located roughly two kilometers from the village center, positioned on the slope of Mount Rog where visitors can reach it on foot. A water source is accessible behind the building, making it a useful waypoint for those hiking the area.

The path leading up to the chapel is lined with five baroque sandstone shrines built in 1720, known collectively as Saint Anna's Five Joys. The pedestals of these monuments bear the founder Bitner's name, marking his role in creating this pilgrimage route.
