The building at Kornplatz 4 in Bolzano: A few details on the façade of the former chapel and the marble plaque that was installed in the 19th century still bear witness to this.

The St. Andrew's Chapel was one of the oldest church buildings in Bolzano . It stood on Kornplatz and was part of the city ​​castle of the Bishop of Trento, built in the 12th century and demolished in the 13th century .

The chapel dedicated to the apostle Andreas was first mentioned in 1189 and was the only ecclesiastical institution in the high medieval founding area of ​​the city of Bozen around the Bozen arcades . As part of the episcopal fortification of the market settlement, it is to be addressed as the private chapel of the Trento bishops, whose chaplains with Bertold Köhl in 1438 ( "Perichtoldt Köel, mighty capplan of the cappellen to sand Andre zu Boczen" ) are named. The chapel was located directly on the former city ​​moat , which was filled in in the 13th century and forms today's Silbergasse . Thanks to numerous foundations in the city area, the beneficiary linked to the chapel also had its own archive , which was recorded by the Bolzano notary Friedrich Schlegel in the early 16th century .

The chapel was abandoned and secularized in 1786, partially demolished and integrated into the successor building. The legendary Gasthaus zum Schlutzigen Luis (Unterhofer) was operated in the building of the former chapel at Kornplatz No. 4 until the 1960s . Today there are a few shops and apartments in the building as well as the headquarters of the South Tyrolean child minder association.
