The "Skull Chapel" was built between 1776 and 1784 by Father Wacław Tomaszek. Inspired by the catacombs of Rome, the priest decided to use the bones found around the building (located on an old battlefield) to transform it into an ossuary chapel.
The Chapel of the Epiphany, also known as the Chapel of the Three Kings, was built from 1699 onwards. The authorship of the project and the construction of the chapel are generally attributed to Kryštof Dientzenhofer (1655-1722) or Jan Blažej Santini (1677-1723). Adjacent to the church is a square tower completed in 1705.
