A Lourdes grotto was built in the 18th century. In 2008 the Leonhard Chapel was completely renovated. The two figures of saints (Barbara and Katharina) have been reproduced true to the original. All other fixtures have been restored to their original state. The whole chapel was cleaned and the damaged areas repainted.
