The chapel was built (just like the nearby chapel of St. Michael) at the beginning of the 19th century. The original path that originally passed in front of the chapel was probably re-moved to its current location after the collapse of the chapel. From a total ruin the chapel was rebuild by the Zdrave Krkonose (Healthy Krkonose) association in 2004. A wooden cross, designed and created by artist Marian Páchnik, dominates the chapel's interior. The sign bears a Latin inscription according to the gospel of St. Matthew with the exclamation of Jesus on the cross „My God, My God why have You forsaken Me“ together with MMIV - the year of the restoration .
