The Haslachmühle is a listed, old grain mill in the Salzburg district and former mill village Gnigl .

The building was first mentioned in a document in 1577 as “Kleine Müllel im Haslach” and originally belonged to Gut Glockmühl. The current building dates from 1688 and has been expanded several times since then. The house is also known as the Flöcknermühle and has been owned by the family of the same name since the mid-19th century.

The mill was not fed by the stream clearly below, but by the Siebenbrunnengerinne. The water poured in a wooden inlet over the mill wheel and drove it on.

Today there is a guest house in the main building.

Maria Luggau chapel

In 1689, when a new house was being built for the miller Adam Reitmair and his wife Rosina, a serious accident occurred. The scaffolding collapsed with seven workers and fell into a ditch. As if by a miracle, no worker was harmed. At the moment of the accident, the pious miller couple vowed to erect a cross with a statue of Mary. The master mason, who was also unharmed, helped to build a small chapel in honor of Our Lady of Luggau as thanks.

According to the story, the master mason and his workers came from the Carinthian or East Tyrolean region, where the miraculous image of Luggau , a carved Pietà , made in 1513 , was often venerated. A few years later, demolition was ordered without the consent of the consistory and thus built as a black building. After an intervention by the archbishop, the notice of termination was revoked in 1699.

In 1699 the chapel was handed over to the Sebastian and Rochus Brotherhood in Salzburg and, located on the important pilgrimage route to St. Wolfgang , developed into an important source of income. Between 1725 and 1727 the chapel got its present appearance. In 1878/79 the chapel became the property of Johann Flöckner and has been looked after by the same family ever since.

The architecturally simple chapel room is adorned on its flat ceiling by two stucco frames, with an 18th century canvas picture (God the Father and Holy Spirit) embedded in the frame of the apse ceiling . A wrought iron grille with a central IHS monogram in a flower mandorla that extends to the ceiling forms the transition from the chapel hall to the chancel .

The central cult image (oil on sheet metal, dated 1690) is located in a wooden frame with ribbon and latticework decoration on the high altar made of marbled wood, the structure of which is flanked by volutes . This painted copy of the original carved miraculous image of Maria Luggau (Mary with the dead Christ) is decorated with numerous pilgrimage objects. On the altar, among other jewelry, is the remarkable guild cross of the baking millers from the mid-18th century. The guild coat of arms (a mill wheel) is shown under the cross , the back shows the Virgin Mary in a halo .
