Trinity Chapel (Wildsteig)
The Trinity Chapel in the Wildsteig municipality, located in the south-western part of the Upper Bavarian Pfaffenwinkel , is a small sacred building from 1969/70, which is a protected monument due to its predominantly baroque interior.
location
The chapel is located on Wiesweg in the northeast of the hamlet of Holz, on the border with the little village of Unterhäusern, a south-western suburb of the municipality's capital.
history
The Trinity Chapel, which serves the lower houses and wood as a prayer room, was built from 1969 to 1970 in the Baroque style in order to provide a worthy setting for Baroque sacred works. On June 6, 1971, the chapel was inaugurated by Archabbot Suso Brecht from St. Ottilien Abbey .
description
The Trinity Chapel is a small hall building with a three-eighth closure and a stately east tower (as it faces west) with an onion dome. The windows show early baroque forms, as can be seen in sacred buildings built by the Schliersee master builder family Zwerger .
The early baroque altar shows on the altar picture (around 1720) how St. Anne teaches her daughter Maria to read. The fresco (1970) by Karl Manninger , which occupies the entire ceiling area, is a copy of a fresco on an old town house in Augsburg that has since been destroyed. On the south wall there is a good Maria Queen of Heaven with child (clad in precious fabric). Further furnishings are a picture of seven refuges (early 18th century) at the entrance, two baroque figures of saints on the north wall and several relics from Pope Clemens I , Irmengard vom Chiemsee and Crescentia von Kaufbeuren, among others .
