The Saueck Chapel

The Saueck Chapel , also Sauegg Chapel , is a listed chapel near Stuhlfelden in Oberpinzgau , Land Salzburg .

location

The court chapel is located near Saueck , the highest farmstead in Bam above the Stuhlfeldner Bach on the Dürnberg , at 1283  m above sea level. A. , east below the Stimmelhöhe  ( 1805  m above sea level ) of the Kitzbühel Alps .

The hiking trail leads past the church into the Mühlbachtal (back valley of the Stuhlfeldner Bach), to the Bürglhütte under the Geißstein (during the Pinzgauer walk ). The chapel itself is a little off the beaten track, in the first bend at Sauecker along the old goods road.

Building description and interior

Votive niche

The chapel looks completely like a local alpine hut or forest hut, a small log house with a half-hipped roof and aisle , without turrets or other external characteristics of a sacred building. It is nestled against a steep slope, a wall behind the house.

The dark interior shows an altarpiece of St. Anthony , surrounded by numerous votive offerings, including and on the walls, culturally and historically interesting votive panels on logging accidents and rescues. In the altarpiece there are revealing depictions of the old Pinzgau costume . The whole altar niche is firmly locked.

history

The chapel is likely to have been built in the late 19th century, or perhaps only in the early 20th century. A mining connection seems possible, Antony of Padua is a mountain saint, and copper mining on the Stimmel already existed in prehistory, and again in the 16th and 17th centuries. After 1910, the goldsmith Födinger from Mittersill carried out exploration work, which was soon stopped.
