At the exit of the village, on Willersdorfer Weg in Haid, there is a pretty little chapel with the year 1825 stamped into the entrance gate. The spouses Georg and Maria Fischer from Haid had this gem built. Before the farm in Haid was given up and both moved to Willersdorf and took over the Fischer brewery, formerly Rittmayer.
The building was probably erected to give a dignified place to the valuable statue of the Virgin Mary that she owned and to offer it back to the people's devotion. Together with the shepherd's house, the chapel formed the eastern end of the town.
