The first written mention of the building dates back to 1365, when the rotunda was a parish church. But the building itself is much older and dates back to 1125. It was built on an important trade route that led from Visegrad to the Vltava crossing.
A small simple building of marl blocks arranged in rows, consists of a round base, a domed roof with a lantern and a semicircular apse on the east side. The apse is decorated with a curved frieze. At the top is a lantern with corresponding Romanesque windows, which is topped with a gilded cross with a crescent moon and an eight-pointed star.
A decorative neo-Romanesque fence with a motif of Czech rose hips, which separates the territory of the chapel from the street, was designed by the prominent Czech artist Josef Manes in 1860.
Remains of the original brick floor and part of 13th century tombstones were found under the pavement.
In the immediate vicinity was discovered the dinar of Prince Jaromir in 1012.
