description
The stately chapel on the southern outskirts was rebuilt in 1774 in the late rococo style. The listed building consists of a two-and-a-half bay nave and a single bay choir with an elliptical apse. In the west there is a small roof ridge.
The interior has a flat vault and is dominated by extensive frescoes on the ceilings and walls, which are framed by illusionistically painted stucco. The fresco decorations were made by Franz X. Bernhardt from Eggenthal. The choir altar with a figure of Joseph dates from 1774, the painting of Joseph's death on the antependium . The ceiling fresco shows the engagement of Mary , that in the nave shows St. Joseph as the patron of Tannenberg . Above the side Altarmensen the wall paintings Holy Kinship (left) and Fourteen Helpers (right). The neo-baroque frescoes (1939, Georg Kuttruff) on the gallery parapet depict scenes from the life of the chapel patron. Between the windows are the late baroque saints Leonhard and Florian from the 18th century on consoles.
