St. Mary Magdalene's Chapel is located in the middle of the forest. The easiest way to get to it is from Gajówka. The building's foundation dates back to 1784. Almost nothing is known when this unusual object was created. These are the only certain information about the chapel of the church, the rest are legends.
The first legend: On a sunny day, count Rud organized a sumptuous hunt. Many people from the upper classes came. Everything went smoothly until the beloved daughter Herzog got lost in a large, local forest. All guests engaged in looking for a daughter. Unfortunately, no one found her until dusk. It was not until the next day at dawn that the Countess was found, just above the ditch. She was cold and shaky, but she knew who she owed her life to. In gratitude for saving his daughter, the count decided to build a chapel. It still stands and is well maintained.
The second legend: the establishment of a shrine has a relationship with a lady. She lived in the castle in Sławięcice and her name was Maria Magdalena. One day she ordered to build a chapel, which was to be repentant for her sins, which no one ever spoke loudly.
