Rosalia Chapel Gföhleramt
The Rosalia Chapel Gföhleramt is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage chapel in the Gföhleramt settlement in the municipality of Gföhl in Lower Austria.
A pilgrimage has existed here since 1679. The Rosalia Chapel was built in 1875 as a free-standing hall with a semicircular apse and a western tower. The rectangular building shows itself with plaster strips and segmented arched windows, the apse with a round window. The tower with a gable-roofed rectangular portal as the church entrance has segment-arched acoustic windows and a pointed onion helmet over a profiled eaves cornice. On the north wall there is a crucifix painted on sheet metal by the sculptor E. Krinz.
The nave and the apse are vaulted with lancet barrels on pilasters. The apse is separated from the nave by a basket arch with side arched niches. The glass paintings with medallion images were created by Carl Geyling's Erben in 1919.
The altar, a small wall retable with scrolls on the side, was built by Franz Mayerhofer around 1875 . The figures and pictures as well as the Stations of the Cross are by Franz Mayerhofer around 1881. The bell was cast in 1829 by Johann Gottlich Jennichen.
