We don't know when the original St. John the Baptist's Chapel was built here. The Chapel was designed for various religious services and as a bell tower, where the Kotrbas - father and son - rang the bell for many years. According to contemporary documents the purpose was not to celebrate masses. The shape and decoration were very similar to the Chapel of St. Wenceslas in Virt. The chapel was destroyed in 1950 and nobody was interested in building a new one until 1965, when Mr Petráň outsmarted the authorities. He made them believe that some French tourists had dropped by and looked for the chapel. Perhaps that was why those in power allowed the citizens of Střela to rebuild the chapel.

The new chapel is simpler than the original one. It is a rectangular structure with hipped roof and bell in the gable. Some older parts were used in the construction, such as the cast-iron cross in front of the chapel. Paintings of John the Baptist, the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ can be found in the chapel.
