Kaple Božího hrobu

Architektonicky bežná barokní kaple Božího hrobu pochází z r. 1732, obnovena byla r. 1845. Je vernou kopií kaple jeruzalémské. Také o její stavbu se zasloužil P. Norbert Saazer. Pri restaurování kaple v letech 1994-1996 bylo odkryto okno orientované tak, aby jím o Velikonocích ve tri hodiny odpoledne dopadal slunecní paprsek prímo na oltární kámen.
