The first records of the chapel of st. The mark comes from 1679 from the inspection protocol of Pyskowice. Originally, this building was wooden, but now it is a brick church, built in 1852. It was erected as a pilgrimage temple by the then Pyskowice parish priest - Fr. Adrian Włodarski.

There is a legend connected with its creation. According to her, the original place of construction of the chapel was supposed to be Zaolszany, located south of Karchowice. So all the building material was gathered there. Tradition says that at night, crayfish moved all the materials to another place, just to Zawada. It was considered a miracle of God and the chapel was built in the place indicated by God. There was once a spring next to the chapel, which, according to the local population, was supposed to have healing properties, mainly in the treatment of eye diseases. Unfortunately, it dried up after the First World War. Also related to this fact is the legend which says that the miraculously dried spring was due to the profanation committed by a local coachman who washed and conceived the horses in it. How much truth in this is unknown. The fact is, however, that at the end of the 19th century, at the end of the 19th century, in the place where the spring was located, a water supply station called "Zawada", which is already historic, but still functioning, was built.

From the beginning of its existence, the chapel was the target of imploring processions from the parish in Pyskowice and this tradition has not disappeared to this day. Every year, on April 25, a procession arrives in Zawada and a mass is celebrated. Currently, there are two services a week in the church.

In 1995, the temple was thoroughly renovated.
