The small chapel with an almost square choir, vaulted by a barrel with stab caps, was built according to the inscription on the altar threshold in 1684. On the wall of the choir arch there is a bell bay. On the bell is the inscription 1683. The small altar dates from the time of construction. The picture depicts the decapitation of the cartridge.

The chapel with its crosses for avalanche victims above the entrance is still a place of procession and pilgrimage. Its powers are high and suggest a pre-Christian cult site.
