_jm6326.jpg)
St. Leonhard is a Roman Catholic chapel in the Upper Swabian church village , a suburb of Bad Wörishofen . It stands about 300 meters northeast of the village on the road to Oberrammingen . It was built in the second half of the 17th century. The western axis with the roof turret was probably added in the first half of the 18th century. Major renovations took place in 1859 and 1900.
Building description
The chapel consists of an elongated building with a three-sided end. In the long walls there are three recessed, arched windows at the top and bottom. In the west there is a gallery with turning bars on the parapet. Under the gallery is a rectangular door, above it in the north a transverse oval window. On the west wall there is a protruding wall as a substructure for the tower . The flat-roofed space over a throat has a profiled cornice . A thin profile frame can be seen above the valley. The floor is covered with square Solnhofer tiles . There is a profiled, grooved eaves cornice on the exterior . A roof turret with a square base is located above the west gable with its profiled slopes. This is completed by a profile cornice. A low, octagonal upper part has arched openings on the main sides and a profiled cornice. The onion hood is covered with tin.
Furnishing
On the ceiling there is a decorative painting from around 1900 made of three stucco rings with frescoes. The Lamb of God can be seen in the middle . A Heart of Jesus is attached to the east and a Heart of Mary to the west. The neo-baroque wooden altar comes from the same period and is framed. The two-column structure has a revolving tabernacle flanked by two volutes in the classical style from the 18th century. It was made at the same time as the crucifix in the niche. In the structure there is a shell niche with a framed wooden statue of St. Leonhard as well as the external figures of St. Magnus and Wendelin from the third quarter of the 18th century. Saint Leonhard is Gothic and could have been created after an older model.
The simple stalls have curved plank cheeks and date from the 19th century. All of the wooden figures in the chapel are set. Saint Joachim and Saint Anne with the Child Mary date from the middle of the 18th century and stand on classicist consoles. The crucifix dates from the first half of the 18th century. A wooden figure of St. Leonhard from the end of the 14th century can be seen on the outside at the apex of the choir in a retracted round arched niche. The newer version failed. The late 18th century votive painting is an oil-on-canvas painting. It shows a kneeling girl at the feet of St. Mary and Leonhard. It is damaged and is in a classicist carved frame.
