Perfectly visible from the highway, also known for the fact that for many years, every Sunday in May, Fr. prof. Joachim Piecuch celebrates Marian services there in German. A large group of residents of Gogolin, Krapkowice, the Karłubiec district, Zdzieszowice and surrounding villages gather then.

The chapel, built in 1801 in the fields, is the common property of local residents. The Marian chapel was built next to a water spring that springs naturally from the ground. The water collects in a small well and is widely believed to have healing properties.

According to E. Boronczyk's publication (Karłubiec 1302 - 2008, pp. 170-171), it was probably founded by the Gaszyns from Żyrowa, to commemorate the miraculous recovery of sight by the counts' child. According to oral tradition, Mary was supposed to show Countess Gaszyn this special place. During World War II, Stanisław Wojtala, as a soldier on the Eastern Front, vowed to visit the chapel every week if he returned safely from the war. Older residents remember how at any time of the year, even in winter, in the deepest snow, he would make his way to the chapel...
