The Aichhorn Chapel is a listed building in Aichhorn in the municipality of Heiligenblut .

The chapel, built in 1819 by Sebastian Tribuser, commonly known as Aichhorner, right next to his homestead, was restored in 1989.

It is a classical sacred building committed to the late baroque . The rectangular building with a 3/8 choir closure has a wooden roof turret . The figure of Christ on the Mount of Olives is housed in a niche in the gable area of ​​the west facade with a painted pilaster structure and basket arch portal . The interior consists of a square domed area, a gallery connecting to the west and an eastern round apse .

The popular frescoes in the pendentives of the dome and in the apse vault were painted by Joseph Wurnitsch in 1819. The large picture in the dome shows the Last Supper , surrounded by Christ on the Mount of Olives , the flagellation, the crowning of thorns and the carrying of the cross.

In the apse the erection of the cross can be seen on the left, Christ dying on the cross in the middle and the descent from the cross on the right . The paintings on the sloping southeast and northeast corners show Saints Sebastian and Florian . The middle picture of the altar shows the Lamentation of Christ . The remainder of the back wall of the altar is a pillar altar painted as a pseudo-architecture with a canopy, which shows the crucifixion mentioned above in the upper picture.

On the altar table are the carved figures of the Mother of God and Mary Magdalene as well as four pine wood chandeliers from the time the chapel was built.
