Katholische Wegkapelle Sogn Clau (St. Nikolaus), Rueun

The Catholic wayside chapel Sontga Clau (St. Nicholas) was built in the 18th century in the western part of the village. Due to the construction of the new Waltensburg-Andiast connecting road, the chapel had to be demolished. In 1930 it was rebuilt at the first houses of the village at the west entrance on the uphill side of the new road. It was last renovated in 1991.
The one-room small chapel faces north. It is windowless and has a barrel ceiling. At the flat back, behind the brick refectory, in a light blue painted round-arched niche, is the carved wooden sculpture of the chapel patron St. Nicholas as bishop with mitre and crook.
The figure still comes from the predecessor chapel. It was restored by sculptor H. Egli-Capaul, Andiast/Zurich, in 1991 and re-glazed in warm brown and dark red shades. The chapel has a round-arched door with a barred upper part on its south side facing the street. It is unstructured on the outside and has a light broom plaster above a grey base. The gable roof is covered with sheet metal sheets. The chapel is not accessible.
