This simple Gothic chapel was built in 1402. It was consecrated to the Holy Cross in 1421, at which time it also served as the parish church, with a cemetery in its vicinity.
The cemetery remained in use until 1955 when it was closed for burials. The chapel, built in the Gothic style, is a typical example of rural sacral architecture. It is a single-nave chapel with a square apse, vaulted with a pointed Gothic arch. A valuable detail is the old Romanesque-Gothic holy water font on a column, a unique example in this part of Dalmatia.
The chapel has been restored several times, with the latest complete renovation and restoration of the chapel and its stone bell-cot completed in 2021. The chapel was reblessed on the occasion of its 600th anniversary. Holy Mass is celebrated in the chapel during the summer, every Sunday in July and August at 8 AM, as well as on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (14 September), the Dedication Day of the church (19 October), and All Souls’ Day (2 November).
