The chapel is a stone-faced broad pillar made of cuboid dolomite stones with a wide arched niche and gable roof. It is a replacement for an old bark chapel, which had to make way for the widening of the road (1975-78). The bark chapel is said to have been built in the 1930s and ‘40s to express gratitude for a small fire that broke out in the barn of farmer Kefer, but didn’t cause much damage. The current wayside shrine was built in 1980 by the road maintenance department. In the niche, there is only a wooden cross without a body and a small wrought iron grille to protect flower pots.
