The paper presents the results of a non-destructive survey (geo-radar measurement, surface survey, archival research) of the Chapel of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary standing near the village of Horný Pial and summarizes the existing knowledge about this object. The chapel was long considered a modern building, nowadays its medieval origin is accepted, although relevant written sources are missing. In the years 2016 – 2018, a surface survey was carried out on agricultural land around the chapel. Several finds documenting the settlement of the site in prehistoric, medieval and modern times were obtained. In 2018, a georadar survey was carried out on the site. A total of six areas were measured in the interior and exterior of the church. Anomalous zones were measured in both the nave and the sanctuary of the church, on the basis of which we can assume the presence of four additional floors under the current floor. In the exterior, the remains of the defunct enclosure wall were recorded on the outer edges of the investigated area, on the other hand, no traces of the supposed sacristy were recorded. The results of surveys and archival research of modern canonical visitations supported considerations about the medieval origin of the chapel.
