history

The first chapel shrine was built in 1640 on a path between Mugastielbühel and Kristbühel. According to the story, from the pledge of Captain Heinrich Siglär (also: Sigleer), because he returned unscathed from the Thirty Years' War . Captain Siglär donated five guilders a year in interest for the maintenance . In 1718 the chapel shrine was renovated.

In 1870 the main street between Frastanz and Satteins was relocated and the chapel shrine was now away from the new main street. In 1875 the chapel shrine was moved to its present location by the descendants of the founder. The chapel shrine fell into disrepair over the years due to adverse conditions in the subsoil. In 1993 the chapel shrine had to be completely renewed. This was done by the Sattein craftsmen's guild, and the chapel shrine was moved slightly. The chapel shrine was inaugurated on July 9, 1995 as part of a festive event.

Chapel building

The single-storey chapel shrine is a simple stone building free-standing on all sides with a gable height of around 4.5 m and an area of ​​around 18 m². It is a building with a rectangular shape and in a west-east orientation. The chapel construction differs from an ordinary wayside shrine in that it is accessible and has a relevant spatial depth.

Access is not blocked by a door and is guaranteed by a sandstone arch. There is no bell ridge on the gable roof, which is covered with plain tiles. The building itself is largely plastered in white .

The prayer room and the chancel are not separated from each other and are open to the roof structure. The roof structure, painted in medium brown, is used as a design element. The window panes are broken up by a hexagonal basic structure.

Furnishing

The altar with the ceramic cross by Reinhard Welte from Satteins

The decor is kept simple and is dominated by the altar and especially the altarpiece, a ceramic cross with Christ in half-relief. The ceramic cross was created by the painter and sculptor Reinhard Welte from Satteins. It consists of nine individual panels. The painting was done with underglaze colors (matt) on the theme of the Thirty Years War. Overall size of the cross: 140 × 120 cm.

Above the cross there is a sandstone-framed round window ( ox-eye ), which creates interesting light effects in the interior.
