Nice place in the forest park.

Chapel of St. John the Baptist was built on the initiative of Jan Mořice Dreyschock on Janský vrch in 1714. It was damaged during the Silesian Wars, especially during the fire of the town in 1745. In its vicinity, even simple defensive positions were built. In 1782, the Janská Chapel was ordered by Emperor Joseph II. consecrated and sold into private hands. Its restoration and rededication did not take place until 1811. On June 27, 1866, fighting between Prussian and Austrian troops took place around and inside the chapel, and traces of the fighting are still visible here. In the years 1879–80, after the demolition of military monuments from the disturbed town cemetery, the surroundings of the Janská Chapel became a military cemetery from the war of 1866.
