Sv. Marjeta
Kapela sv. Marjete stoji sredi dolenjevaškega polja, na rahlo dvignjenem mestu. Po ustnem izročilu naj bi bilo tu nekdaj tudi dolenjevaško pokopališče, vendar pisnih virov, ki bi to potrdili ni.
Sedanja kapela je prezbiterij nekdanje cerkvice, ki so jo postavili po letu 1828. Kdaj in zakaj so podrli ladijski del ni znano. Ostal pa je prezbiterij. Župnik Škulj v Kroniki piše, da je v letu 1920 obnovil to kapelo, ki je po njegovih besedah bila precej zapuščena in je služila za vedrenje obdelovalcem dolenjevaškega polja in celo za prenočevanje ciganom. Župnik je hotel kapelo imeti za božjo službo, zato jo je dal obnoviti, za kmete pa je zraven dal postaviti posebno lopo.

Danes nudi kolesarjem ali popotnikom lep razgled na dolenjevaško polje in počitek v senci mogočnih lip. Zraven kapelice se nahaja 41 m dolg in 3 m širok požiralnik, odkrit leta 1976.
V času, ko poplavlja dolenjevaško polje, je lahko pot do kapele otežena ali povsem nemogoča.

St. Marjeta
The chapel of St. Marjeta is located at “dolenjevaško polje” at a slightly higher elevation. It is said that there was once a cemetery near the location, but no written sources can confirm that.
Today’s chapel is a presbytery of a former church that was built after the year 1828. When and why
the nave was destroyed is unknown. But the presbytery still remains. Pastor Škulj claims to have
rebuilt this chapel, which was by his words abandoned and served as a shelter to the farmers of
“dolenjevaško polje” and even as sleeping quarters for gypsies. The pastor wanted to have the
chapel for the work of God, so he had it rebuilt and made a special shed for the farmers.

Today it’s a great viewpoint and rest area for travellers and cyclists in the shade of the mighty linden
trees.
At times of floods at “dolenjevaško polje” the chapel is hard to access or is even completely inaccessible.
