Opposite the rope suspension bridge in Krupski Młyn, almost exactly in the light of one of the so-called There is a modern pillar-type chapel with a figure of St. Joseph with the sleeping Child in his left hand. It was built in 1993 on the site of a church that no longer exists, or rather a wooden barrack serving as a church, probably a temporary one.

The appearance of the chapel does not resemble a contemporary "small" sacred building and undoubtedly even experts on the subject could make a mistake in determining the year of its construction. It is made of brick, plastered, painted white, set on a low plinth, covered with a mansard roof covered with galvanized sheet metal, topped with a low cross from the forehead and mounted on four pillars, thanks to which the "inside" slope of the roof creates a kind of stellar vault.

The figure of St. Joseph is holding the sleeping Child in his left hand; perhaps it is a reference to one of the biblical scenes in which St. Joseph goes to some place, carrying the Child in his arms, and it, during an undoubtedly exhausting journey in the Israeli sun, simply fell asleep on the arm of St. Joseph. It can also be interpreted as a father holding a little son in his arm, which is nothing but a scene of fatherly love.
