history

In 1773 a consensus was given to build a chapel in Inneberg. As a result, the St. Joseph Chapel was built in the center of the village on a sloping site towards the east.

Building description

The small chapel building consists of a hall with two window axes made of arched windows. The recessed apse with a 5/8 floor plan connects to this hall. As in the hall, there are arched windows in the oblique axes of the apse. Inside the chapel is covered with a flat ceiling over a throat. Around 1920, the ceiling and walls in the interior were painted. The chapel is covered with a uniform gable roof, for this reason the walls of the apse are slightly raised compared to the rest of the building. There is a profiled eaves cornice all around the outside, which is also continued on the sole of the west gable. A square ridge turret with a tent roof is placed above the west gable. This is divided into three sections by means of two cornices. In the uppermost section there are pairs of arched sound openings with common round central posts.

Interior

The marbled wooden altar was created in the middle of the 19th century . The stipe is block-shaped, with a round-arched structure with two columns rising above it. On these there are two standing angel figures. A frieze with an acroterion and a cross in the apex is attached along the arch . The altarpiece depicts the Holy Family and dates from the 19th century, with the lower part presumably a copy by a Baroque Italian master. The angels in the upper area are painted in a Nazarene style.

The seating dates from the 18th century and some have curved plank cheeks. There are also several wooden figures in the chapel. Around the year 1600 the lecture crucifix with corpus was created, St. Rochus dates from the end of the 17th century. The small popular lecture crucifix probably dates from the 18th century. On the outer facade of the apex of the choir there is a crucifix from the 18th century.
