St. Antonius (Denklingen)
The Catholic chapel of St. Antonius in Denklingen , a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Landsberg am Lech , was built in 1681 and enlarged in 1738. The chapel at St.-Anton-Weg 1, at the northern entrance to the village at the intersection of the country road from Leeder to Epfach with the main road, is a protected architectural monument .
history
The chapel, built in the 17th century, was redesigned in 1738 by the Wessobrunn master builder Joseph Schmuzer . After the chapel was threatened with demolition in 1810 because of its dilapidation , it was renovated in a Romanizing style in 1884/85 , with the baroque stucco decoration removed from the interior.

The one- nave , three- axis gable roof building with painted architectural structure and profiled eaves cornice has a retracted choir with a five- eighth end . Some of the arched windows are designed as blind windows without an opening. The windowless front side facing the street with the entrance has an octagonal roof turret with an onion hood on the top of the gable .

The nave and the choir have a flat ceiling over covings . The choir arch rests on profiled warrior cornices. On the west side there is a gallery without supports. On the ceiling of the nave, in a curved stucco profile frame, the representation of Saint Anthony in conversation with the Paduan ruler Ezzelin can be seen. The painting is signed "Schnitzler 1884". The ceiling painting in the choir, a representation of the Holy Spirit , was painted by Alois Haugg from Ottobeuren in 1913 .
Furnishing
The reredos of the two-column high altar consists of a round arched niche with the wooden figure of St. Anthony of Padua. It was created in 1884 by the Baldauf'schen Kunstanstalt in Augsburg .
