ENG: Baroque niche chapel, which was used as an outdoor altar for last pray of sentenced to death on their way to the scaffold, which used to be on the hill south of town, next to the road to Kutna Hora. It was built in the first half of the 18th century and was consecrated in the spring 1745. First documented altar here was built 1690 by Tobias Franz's widow. Her husband was executed in 1686 at Kostelec nad Cernými lesy for the rape and murder of sixteen girls in nearby village Tismice.
