It is a small rural chapel built between 1928 and 1930, with a memorial plaque to the victims of the First World War hung on its wall.
Construction of the chapel ran from 1928 to 1930, with work halted in 1929 and finished the following year.

In 1995 Vilém and Marie Černí had a bell made and donated it to the chapel; it was blessed on 1 October 1995 and belongs to the municipality.
