Interior of the old pilgrimage chapel

The old pilgrimage chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel in Gschnaidt , a district of Altusried in the Oberallgäu district ( Bavaria ) and is a listed building. The pilgrimage chapel was built in 1848 in place of a previous building from 1750, which was demolished in 1767, by the bricklayer JA Daibler from Vorderbrennberg. The original pilgrimage chapel (to the Holy Cross) was a simple wooden structure and can be seen on a votive picture from 1753.

The new building from 1848 is a small building with two window axes. The north-facing chapel is closed on three sides and has a roof turret . The crucifix on the altar was originally in the rectory in Frauenzell and dates from the 17th century. The Christ on the scourge column was taken from the previous chapel, this also dates from the 17th century. The votive pictures were placed in the chapel in 1733, 1753 and 1759, as well as into the 19th century.
