Gothic chapel
The chapel was built in the Gothic style during the Stibor family era on the foundations of an older structure. The tall, narrow windows and the rose window above the door have been reconstructed to match their original appearance. In front of the door, there was once an empora—a small wooden balcony. A spiral staircase led to a multi-story sacristy. Stone ribs have been preserved on the walls, with the face of a small forest sprite at the base of each one. These ribs formed a net vault, above which was an attic. Partially restored frescoes can be found in the upper sections of the windows. The blue-green color is original; the entire chapel was once painted in this shade. At the back stands a statue of the Madonna—Mary holding the infant Jesus.
