In the centre of the village, there is a free-standing wooden building with double doors, covered with a hipped roof.
Inside, there is a two storey plastered brick shrine with a flat roof topped with a signature. Additionally, signature and corners of the roof are topped with gilded balls. The shrine contains an original baroque polychrome presenting the holy family with a dove above. This is probably the only preserved original wall painting in this type of object in The Kłodzko Valley. The lower niche with a rounded vault is filled by the contemporary image of Our Lady of Częstochowa. The front sides of the shrine contain contemporary figures of the Mother of God and Child. The whole creates a kind of a small altar.
The construction of the shrine and preserved decorative elements are dated to XVII – XVIII century. Certainly, it is the oldest shrine in Wielisław. Restoration documentation stored in Wałbrzych shows that during the inventory, made in 1975, the object was seriously damaged. During the work on the northern wall (behind the shrine) traces of polychrome were found.
The construction of the chapel is connected with a legend. According to local sources, a church was planned to be built in this place. Residents gathered even wood there for its construction. When they arrived the next day in the place they noticed that all wood was gone. Very soon the materials were found on a hill in the centre of the village. For people, it was a sign and they build the church there which stands to this day. There are two versions of this legend: the first connects the miracle of moving wood with the construction of the original church and the second with rebuilding the church burnt down by the Hussites in 1428.
