Nedaleko kostela panny Marie Ruzencove stoji na rohu hlavni a vedlejsi silnic kaplicka se zvonici. Je pamatkove chranena a jeji stavba se datuje do zacatku 18.stoleti.
Puvodni zvon na kaplicce pochazel z roku 1715. V obdobi I. sv. valky celil hrozbe zrekvirovani a roztaveni na zbrane a munici. Na posledni chvili se ho starostovi podarilo zachranit vhodnym uplatekem nedostatkovych potravin. Bohuzel o ctvrt stoleti pozdeji se toto jiz zopakovat nepodarilo a behem II. sv. valky byl tentokrat zvon zabaven a odvezen.

Next to road nearby church of virgin Mary stands small chapel with tower bell from beggining of 18th century. Present bell is from 1946 - original bell from 1715 was almost confiscated during WWI (to melt it and make from brute material weapons and ammo), but thanks to bribe of some shortage rare food (like butter and meal) bell was saved. Unfortunatelly war came after 25 years again and during WWII bell was really confiscated and took away.
