Lourdes Chapel (Unterrammingen)
The Lourdes Chapel in Unterrammingen in Upper Swabia , a suburb of Rammingen , is a Roman Catholic chapel. It was built in 1891 in the neo-Romanesque style from raw bricks and stands on the western edge of the village at the end of a cross street. The west-facing building is semi-circular, the east side framed with pilaster strips , which are also attached along the sloping gable. In the gable area there is a small arched window, the entrance below is arched. A sheet-metal, square roof turret above the gable supports a tent roof . The long sides each have an arched window. The interior has a mirrored ceiling, the apse contains a Lourdes grotto .
The wooden figures of the chapel are all taken . The statue of St. Bernard of Clairvaux , created around 1740 to 1750, comes from a former wayside shrine , the so-called St. Bernard column. The crucifix was created at the end of the 18th century. A cloth-clad, reclining Christ child in a glass cabinet with a carved decoration dates from the second quarter of the 18th century.
