The church in Wondreb surrounds the cemetery. Inconspicuously, the shingled cemetery chapel lies in a corner. The "dance of death cycle" on her ceiling is a valuable cultural asset. These are 28 equally sized pictures of death and life. They are painted in grisaille technique that was not common in the baroque era. Presumably, the artwork was created at the end of the 17th century.
