Mount of Olives Chapel in Eppishausen

The neo-baroque Ölbergkapelle in Eppishausen , a municipality in the Unterallgäu district in Bavaria , was built in 1912 by Franz Xaver Lutzenberger according to plans by the architect Wolf. The listed chapel is located at the northern foot of the Kirchberg and is a small rectangular plastered brick building. The building is covered with a gable roof , underneath is an eaves cornice . On the north side the chapel is open with a round arch arcade. This is made up of Tuscan pilasters with volutes attached to the outsideflanked. The tail gable above has a strong, profiled cornice. The gable is thus divided into two floors. The group of figures in the chapel was created around 1720 and was temporarily located in the rectory.
