The construction of Cupelin Chapel was funded by all the inhabitants of this hamlet in 1654. Its patron saints are the Virgin Mary and Saint Guarinus, patron saint of animals. A large mission cross is found at the entrance. It features the instruments from The Passion: the spear that impaled His body, the dice the soldiers used to cast for His robe, and the crown of thorns He was forced to wear. In 2015, a set of 12 stained contemporary glass windows created by Father Kim En Joong was installed. Kim En Joong is a Korean artist who has developed a spiritual art form based on light and colour. His works combine Far-East forms and Western colours.
