A wooden suspension bridge leads from the castle's park to the chapel. The marriage of count Heřman from Černíny and countess Luisa from Morzin in 1856 established a new Černin – Morzin dynasty.
In 1887 – 1890 the countess Luisa had a neo-gothic family vault built according to a design of architect Stephan Tragl (also a designer of the new Saint Vavřinec Church) erected on a hill near the castle's park. The chapel's interior is decorated with a beautiful neo-gothic altar with. The vault itself is underneath the chapel. Heřman, the husband of Countess Luisa was the first to be entombed here in 1892, followed by Countess Louisa herself in 1907. After the Second World War the chapel became a congregation house of Czech Hussite Church.
