It can be reached via a relatively steep path, whose incline is eased by several pairs of steps. The building was erected in 1787; a chronogram gives the year 1788, while the foundation stone was laid in 1787. It was built on the site of a chapel erected in 1724 by the Dominicans of Litoměřice.

Josef Emanuel Hibsch (1852–1941) was born in Homole u Panny and mapped the České středohoří geologically. A mineralogical museum was established in Homole u Panny in his honour.
