The Gröben Chapel in the northwestern part of the city of Kitzbühel , between Burgstallstrasse 22 and 24, is a cultural asset listed in the Tyrolean art cadastre.

history

The Gröben Chapel is a building that was first mentioned in 1712 and was rebuilt in the 19th century for its predecessor, which had probably become dilapidated. In 1930 the entrance was relocated from the west to the east side due to the relocation of the road passing by.

description

The chapel is a small hall building with the former three-sided choir closure on the entrance side and what is now a straight rear wall of the choir. The building has a high pitched roof. The interior is decorated with a frescoed lancet vault. The altarpiece shows a Pietà. Angels with the instruments of torture and the Holy Trinity can be seen in the frescoes.
