When, on the frosty morning of 6 March 1645, the armies of the Swedish kingdom, with a lion on the coat of arms, and the Austrian Empire, with eagle on banners, the Peace of Westphalia was still three long years away. Numerous other battles were fought before and after the Battle of Jankov (Jankau) across the western and northern Europe. Nevertheless, the Battle of Jankov was considered a breaking point that definitely changed the power ratio between the warring parties and in consequence contributed to speeding up the peace negotiation, which concluded on 24 October 1648 with signing of a treaty setting the new spheres of influence across Europe.
The church has been recorded since the 14th century. The originally Gothic style building was burnt down in 1645 and a new nave was added in 1666. The church was damaged by fire again in 1813 and repaired in 1899.
The small chapel was built in 1871 probably in connection with the railroad construction. The railroad construction probably interfered with the original site of the chapel. The original small chapel used to be only a brick niche above the spring. The small room is accessed throughout arched alcove.
