Candidus von Zeiller, court clerk of Taufers and owner of Neumelans , had the chapel built in the simple late baroque style in 1731 as a supplement to the farmer's baths Bad Winkel (also Bad Winkl or Weihbrunn ) in the district of Kematen von Sand in Taufers, which is documented as early as 1650 .
The building has a wooden roof turret , a three-sided choir closure and a stone-framed rectangular door. The roof is covered with wooden shingles.
The ceiling in the interior is designed as a barrel over a simple cornice. The altar from the second half of the 18th century, which rests on columns and pilasters with cranked entablature and is designed with volute attachments and a rocaille , shows the church patron in the altarpiece, who is flanked by two statues of Joseph and Joachim. A painting with Karl Borromeo and Antony of Padua from 1638 is signed MB and presumably ascribed to Matthäus Barat.
The chapel was placed under state monument protection in 1986 .
