The first chapel building from 1648, in which a crypt was installed under the choir in 1690, was rebuilt in 1733 to its present-day baroque form. After the monastery was dissolved in 1805, the empty chapel was used as a barn. In 1857, when the poor school sisters moved in, the chapel was returned to its original purpose.
The roof turret was renewed in 1894 and the entire chapel was renovated in 1927/28. The ceiling paintings were renewed in the classical style, three new ones were designed.
