Kaiser Franz Joseph Jubilee Chapel on Haunsberg
The Roman Catholic Kaiser Franz Joseph Jubilee Chapel is located near the Kaiserbuche on the ridge of the Haunsberg in the market town of Obertrum am See in the Salzburg-Umgebung district in the state of Salzburg .
description
The plastered chapel building has a small retracted apse with a triangular closure. Above the arched portal door, the gable roof carries a roof turret. The arched windows have a wooden tracery. The interior of the chapel has a flat barrel vault. The neo-Gothic Wimpergaltar bears a figure of St. Maria.
On October 28, 1779, Emperor Joseph II was shown the beautiful view during an unofficial visit to an unwooded spot on the ridge of the Haunsberg . In memory, a red beech was planted at this point and called the imperial beech. A brick memorial pyramid was also built nearby in 1779 and was last renewed in 1957. Subsequently, a chapel was built in 1898 for the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I and restored in 1968.
