A Baroque octagonal chapel of limestone rubble from before 1687, founded in connection with the Rosary Confraternity.
The Rosary Chapel in Czernichów is a Baroque chapel on the top of a limestone hill, entered in the register of immovable monuments of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. It was built before 1687.
The founder was the priest Wawrzyniec Kamerer (d. 1687), and the building was connected with the establishment of the Rosary Confraternity in 1686.
The walls of limestone rubble form a regular octagon. A sacristy adjoined it on the east, demolished in the 19th century. In 2005 the turret was taken down because of its poor technical condition.
The parish Church of the Holy Trinity in Czernichów stands about 400 m away, and about 900 m further on is the Czernichów Główny Station Museum.
