Description

The building: The nave of the east-facing chapel is almost square, dating from around 1600. The chancel and nave are vaulted with barrel vaults with segmental caps. Entrance in the west, main window arched. An open ridge turret with a slender, octagonal pointed spire on the gabled roof. Modest altarpiece from around 1700, dating from the middle of the 17th century. It is iconographically remarkable, as Mary appears twice in a synchronistic manner: in the middle as the main figure with the boy Jesus, and on the outer left as a child in the Selbdritt group. On the far right is St. Roch with the angel and bells with inscriptions, 1743.
