Anna Chapel (Altshausen)
The Catholic Annakapelle in Altshausen in the Ravensburg district in Upper Swabia is located northeast outside the community on the road 286 to Ebersbach-Musbach .
history
The Altshausen community was part of the Altshausen Teutonic Order from 1246 to 1806 . In 1748 the chapel was built by the Teutonic Order builder Johann Caspar Bagnato on behalf of the Teutonic Order .
construction
The octagonal structure has a conical roof with a bay window . In the middle of the roof there is a paw cross in the shape of a German cross . The Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem may have served as a model for the rotunda . The patroness of the chapel, St. Anne , is depicted in an altar niche in the chapel.
The ceiling frescoes show the three theological virtues of faith (cross and chalice), love (vessel with fire), and hope (image of an anchor). The fourth ceiling picture shows St. Michael , patron of the parish church of Altshausen.
Next to the chapel is an atonement cross .
