Chapel of St. Martin / S. Martin, Brigels

History: St. Martin's Chapel is not mentioned among the branches of the parish church in 1185 and does not appear in any other medieval documents. New construction of the spire, 1736.

Description of the building: East-facing chapel, a shallow choir tapering towards the depths, vaulted with a barrel vault and separated from the nave by a semicircular arch. Above the nave is a late Gothic ceiling. Three round-arched windows with beveled arched reveals. The round-arched entrance to the west. The choir is apparently unconnected to the nave. Uniform saddleback roof.

The tower: Romanesque. Stands in line with the west façade and has round-arched sound windows with supports and transoms. High, octagonal pointed spire.

Wall paintings: They are similar to those in St. Jacob's and date from 1515.
