The octagonal chapel was built in 1663 by Countess Františka Slavatová as a thank you to God. The year before, her son, the young count Karel Jáchym Slavata, went hunting alone and fell into a 5 m deep wolf pit in these places. He couldn't get out and it wasn't until the next day that farmers from nearby Vanovo found him here. This event was captured by a contemporary artist on the ceiling of the chapel. Later, the way of the cross was built, which leads to the chapel from Telč, and the building was adapted to the chapel of the Holy Sepulchre.

Saint Charles Borromeo (1538 to 1584), to whom this church is dedicated, came from a noble family and was Cardinal of Milan. Since one of his interests was education, the Association of Catholic Public Libraries in Germany, founded in 1845, was named after him (if interested, see borromaeusverein.de/). Saint Charles Borromeo's feast day in the calendar of saints is November 4th.

A massive monument is dedicated to him in his Italian homeland (Arona in Piedmont), see: komoot.com/de-de/highlight/585434
