According to tradition, there used to be a miners’ chapel from the beginning of the 14th century dedicated to Saint Barbara on the rocky promontory above the Vrchlice river. In the ‘80s of the 14th century, the construction of a charnel house – a two-floor cemetery chapel with an ossuary – started in its immediate vicinity. The building was built on the edge of a rocky slope. Its perimeter wall is connected to the adjacent retaining wall which reinforces the promontory from east to south. Only the ground floor serving as the ossuary was completed. The upper chapel was never finished, and its function was soon taken over by the partially built St Barbara’s Cathedral.

On the altar stands the Gothic Madonna (1380). It is the oldest and the most precious statue in the cathedral.
