A magnificent chapel hiding the burials of the family of Herman Epstein , one of the richest entrepreneurs operating in the mid-19th century in the lands of the Kingdom of Poland. There was erroneous information in the literature about the death and burial of Herman Epstein in Warsaw in the Jewish cemetery on Okopowa Street. Also buried in the grave were members of the Lange family related by Herman's daughter Maria.

Likeness: In the interior on the back wall on a decorative stone crozier is a bust of Herman Epstein probably in bronze.

It was bought in 1867 by Mieczysław Epstein [Herman's son] for a family grave (information by Mrs. B. Kłosowicz from Paris, who found the chapel).
