history
The first chapel on the site of the present church was built in 1749 on the initiative of Vicar Gregor Janas. Here was a spring with ice-cold water with healing properties. The field chapel was made of wood, covered the spring and had a small tower without bells and could hold up to 200 people. The construction was realized with contributions and the support of the local citizens and other benefactors. Poplars were planted around the chapel.
After around 100 years, the wooden chapel became dilapidated and a new building was necessary. On January 30, 1852, three citizens came together in the Ujester parish, the councilor and pepper cake maker Franz Mrozik, the carpenter Josef Dachnowski and the master weaver Josef Gojny. They expressed their wish to enable a new construction of the Mariä Brunnen chapel and to support it free of charge. Mrozik agreed to deliver the stones necessary for the construction from his quarry near Jeschona. Gojny had bricks made. Dachnowski undertook to make three altars. On December 9th, 1854, master rope maker Johannes Roskosch agreed to cede parts of his adjacent property.
Although the architect Alexis Langer was asked to produce a drawing for the new building, the costs of realizing the building would have significantly exceeded the client's means. Karl Heinze from Ujest was commissioned to work out a new plan.
Commissioner Kania from Ponischowitz laid the foundation stone in 1858 in the presence of many believers. The church was completed on May 16, 1861, and the builder, Pastor Möser, had the tower button attached with the certificate he had written. Pastor Möser had a log house built from the wood of the old chapel for a hermit to guard the church and perform acolyte services. The tertiary Johannes Loch from Chronstau reported for this post.
The altarpiece on the side of the Chapel of Mercy shows a replica of Our Lady of Czestochowa. The main feast in the church always took place on the Sunday after the Visitation of the Virgin Mary (July 2nd).
