In a small clearing in the forest above Morissen stands the small chapel Sogn Carli. It was probably built in the second half of the 17th century. The bell yoke was built during the renovation works of 1940-41 and an old bell from the Sogn Roc chapel in Vella was attached to it.

Murals: In the nave, the Last Judgement with St. Michael as the weighing of souls. Next to it is the Mother of God with an unknown alliance coat of arms.
On the way to S. Carlo, small wayside shrine.
