history

The existing church building dates from 1690 and was rebuilt and expanded in 1733. The bell is much older and dates from the 14th century. The will of the farmer Michael Stüber, who set up a foundation in his will to expand the chapel, is in the Fugger archive . It states, among other things, "... that people are thinking of enlarging the chapels there". The will is dated March 31, 1733. The consecration of the converted chapel took place on July 20, 1738 by the Augsburg auxiliary bishop Johann Jakob von Mayer. A renovation took place in 1901.

Building description

The chapel on the western edge of the village has a slightly indented choir that connects to the nave with three axes . In the choir, there is a window with a semicircular end on each side. The transition from the choir to the nave takes place inside through a choir arch with flat, pink marbled Corinthian pilasters on the reveal . Cranked entablature and a flat arched arcade rise above it . A gallery is built into the nave on the west side . This is concave in the middle part and convex on the side axes. Each axis of the gallery has a field with a profiled stucco frame. The middle field shows a view of Kirchhaslach in a new fresco . The two side fields are marbled pink. In the corners of the east side of the nave there are stucco consoles with figures. The windows of the nave are drawn in and arched. Both in the choir and in the nave there is a mirror ceiling over a thin profile cornice made of stucco. Next to the access door on the west is a small round window in the wall. A plinth and a profiled, wide eaves cornice run around the outside of the chapel . A uniform gable roof rises above it . Above the gable on the west side there is a small church tower, which is led down to the floor as a flat wall template. In this wall template, the access door is inserted in a basket arch panel. The tower consists of two floors. The lower one is square with a profiled cornice, the upper floor is octagonal, with the diagonal sides being narrower. Small rectangular windows are available on the upper floor of the tower. The church tower is covered with an octagonal tip made of sheet metal. The sign is more recent than the chapel and rests on two octagonal pillars. It is covered with a hipped roof .
