history
The simple hall building with a tower facing the north stands at the southern end of Dorfstrasse, where a wooden chapel was located before 1881. This previous building is marked by a cross in the Franziszeischen Cadastre and defined as a wooden structure by the yellow painting. A memorial plaque provides information about the time when the new chapel was built.
Another memorial plaque in the tower commemorates an extensive renovation of the chapel that took place in 1903.
An electric tower clock, which is attached to the north side of the tower, was purchased in 1993 and in 1996 the outside of the chapel was renovated.
Since Pranhartsberg is located in the parish of Sitzendorf, pastoral care has always been provided from there.
