    The available information does not say much about this building, at most it only mentions the location and the name of the chapel in one sentence, and is unfortunately silent about the period of its construction. Therefore, there are a lot of question marks about the sacral building in Zakrzów, or there is no access to the right information, so we can only assume some "facts", because they do not necessarily have to be proven facts...

    The small religious building could probably have been built at the end of the 18th or the beginning of the 19th century, due to the construction period of the now ruined castle, which may not have had any space for a chapel. Usually, a chapel was remembered in such buildings, as is the case, among others, in Kamień Śląski, at the castle in Racibórz, in the ruined palace in Bycin, or similarly it could have been the case in Cieszyn, where the only remnant of the castle of the Cieszyn princes was the rotunda, which was the prince's chapel.

    The chapel in Zakrzów may have been built of limestone from the limestone kilns of the Madellung family. It is plastered and covered with a two-slope roof covered with modern Dutch roof tiles. At the junction of the slopes (ridge) there is a turret with a turret covered with a tower roof. The bell that still hangs today (perhaps a different one after World War II, as the original one may have been confiscated for war purposes) once informed the residents, among other things: about a fire, called the Angelus, or with its sounds accompanied the deceased resident to the cemetery.

    The small religious building was built on a square-like plan, closed at the back with a straight wall. The doorway on the main façade is framed with a decorative material similar to stone and topped with a pointed arch. A double-leaf, glazed door was placed in this opening. The side elevations have one window opening, topped similarly to the entrance opening - with a sharp arch with a frame made of a material similar to stone.

    The interior of the chapel was covered with the so-called ceiling. segmental with a span of approximately 1.60-2.00 meters, probably made of solid brick and plastered. The interior of the chapel is decorated with a brick, plastered altar (or made of stone and painted), on which there are figures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in the central place of the back wall there is a painting with the figure of Saint. Jacek Odrowąż holding in his left hand a figurine of the Virgin Mary and Child (both figures wearing a crown) and the Blessed Sacrament in his right. The Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, watches over everyone

      The chapel is located right next to a small pond.
