Eichberg Chapel (Pfaffenhausen)
The Eichbergkapelle is a chapel in Pfaffenhausen in Upper Swabia in the Unterallgäu district . A chapel, mentioned as early as 1527, was located in or on the ring wall of the former Pfaffenhausen Palace . This was canceled in 1808. Then a new chapel was built not far from it on the site of the former castle pond on the footpath to the community forest, which in 1908 had to give way to the construction of the railway. The current chapel was built in 1910 according to a plan by Stephan Stark from Pfaffenhausen on the Eichberg for the image of Our Lady kept in the chapel . District building assessor Wiederspick from Augsburg made changes to the plans. The construction business Josef Notz from Pfaffenhausen received the order to build the chapel.
The chapel on the southern outskirts of the village on the road to Unterrieden has a square floor plan and a tented roof and is spanned by a groin vault. There are arched panels on the outside and a round arched door to the east. In the west wall there is an arched niche with a wooden cladding similar to an altarpiece in simple classicist forms from 1910. A painted board figure of the Mother of God of Einsiedeln is integrated into this structure.
