Chapel of the Sorrowful Virgin Mary

The Marian chapel with an octagonal floor plan was built in 1881 at the end of the village on the old road to Veľký Levár. The dating year is marked above the entrance. The chapel was last repaired in 1994.

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Seven is located in the part of the village called Salaš, Na salaši, where the village once ended and the Na drahách part began. The chapel is situated in the triangle of the intersection of two diverging roads, one of which, the old one towards Veľké Leváre and Bratislava, ends here and does not continue, and the other, the new road leads to the main road from Bratislava to Břeclav near the studio with a building.

The chapel at Salaš has an octagonal floor plan, while every second wall of the facade with a window is always wider. The octagonal facade of the chapel is finished with a massive, multi-profiled roof cornice curving shield-like over each side of the octagon, above which is the roof and vestibule of the octagonal tower also equipped with a cornice terminated by a more massive cross.

The walls of the chapel's facade are divided by moldings, which on the wider walls of the facade are enriched with a three-leaf motif, located above the chapel's rectangular semicircular window.

On the west wall of the chapel's octagon is a simple rectangular entrance, above which the year of the chapel's establishment, 1881, is placed in a smaller semicircular shield. The color of the chapel's exterior facade, as well as the interior, is light yellow.

The interior of the chapel is covered by a polygonal vault with a cornice, while the walls of the octagon are finished with segmental arches above the window arches.

The simply designed altar in the chapel has above the canteen with the inscription P.Mária be our mother a pieta sculpture under a high cross, on the sides with smaller sculptures of the Virgin Mary and the Divine Heart of Jesus.
