Jost and Antonius Chapel (Alikon)
The Jost and Antonius Chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel in Alikon , a village belonging to the municipality of Sins in the canton of Aargau . It is located on the road to Auw and is a listed building.
A chapel was first mentioned in 1672 when the residents of Alikon asked the governing towns of the Confederation to purchase a bell worth 70 guilders . In 1754 the bailiff and the bishop of Constance approved the construction of the chapel. After the city of Lucerne provided building materials, it was inaugurated in 1756. Renovations took place in 1934 and 1985.
The simple chapel eastwards closed on three sides, on the gable roof , a hexagonal raises roof skylights with spire . A hipped roof on Tuscan columns protects the portal, the walls of which are decorated with banding . A strongly recessed choir arch separates the choir from the nave , and double Ionic pilasters support the hollow in the ceiling. Three arched windows cut into the vault on each side . The wooden altar is partly marbled and partly gilded; it was built around 1680/90 and was once a side altar in the Sins parish church of the Birth of Mary .
