In the years 1735-1737 Przeczno was hit by an epidemic of plague (probably cholera); Only one resident survived then - Józef Szmania, to whom Saint appeared in the forest. Rozalia and showed him a source of water.

The sick Szmania recovered, and to commemorate this event, he carved the image of Saint in a tree. Rozalia. Since then, numerous epidemics have bypassed Przeczno, although not the surrounding villages.

A tree trunk with the face of Saint engraved on it. Rozalia was built in 1852 with a chapel containing figurines of saints protecting against plague - Saint. Rosalia and St. Rocha.

On the other side of the path, opposite the chapel, there is a water spring and a cross.

Cult of Saint Rozalia survived the following centuries, and on September 4 each year, a service is organized, ending with a solemn procession from the church in Przeczno to the chapel.
