    This place, associated with many legends, was the final resting place of Jan Filip Husmann and his wife Emilie, nee Countess von Dohna for a long time. In 1623 Tachau was sold to the colonel of the imperial army. The royal city suddenly became a subject city. After Husmann's death in 1651, his remains were buried in the tomb of the monastery church and after the monastery was dissolved in 1792 they were placed in the newly built chapel. Here they were until the 1950s. During this time the chapel was looted. Today the chapel is hidden under a burial mound.
