[EN] On this hill in 1666 the The Legonice settlement was signed which ended the Lubomirski's sedition. To commemorate this event a chapel was built. During World War I in 1915 the chapel was destroyed and burnt down. Traces of this event are the shells (scales) embedded in the current southern wall. The present church was built in 1956, after the previous one (build in 1922-1928) burned down after a lightning strike in 1947. The church, made entirely of brick, is single-aisle with apse and 4 small side chapels.

[PL] Na wzgórzu tym w 1666 r. podpisano Ugode w Legonicach, która zakonczyla rokosz Lubomirskiego. Dla upamietnienia tego wydarzenia wybudowana zostala kaplica. Podczas I wojny swiatowej w 1915 r. kaplica zostala zniszczona i spalona przez wojska austriackie. Sladami tego wydarzenia sa luski wmurowane obecnie w scianie poludniowej. Obecny kosciól zostal wybudowany w 1956 r., po tym jak poprzedni (zbudowany w latach 1922-1928) splonal po uderzeniu pioruna w roku 1947. Kosciól w calosci wykonany z cegly, jednonawowy z absyda i 4 malymi kapliczkami bocznymi.
