Building description

West facade of the chapel

In the middle of the village, the chapel rises on a small hill. It consists of a hall with a flat ceiling and a semicircular end. There are round arched windows, two on each side, in the nave and one on each side in the apse . On the outer facade in the apse of the apse there is a window. The projecting roof sits on sloping beam heads. The windows and the access door on the west side are framed. There is an archivolt over the door . Pilaster strips can be seen at the corners and at the base of the apse. A ribbon-like plinth runs around the chapel and a frieze on the eaves below the roof . On the staggered west gable, the roof turret protruding on three stepped consoles is erected. This has corner pilasters and rounded arched openings. It is covered with a transverse gable roof and, like the west gable itself, has a stepped gable.

Interior

The wooden altar dates from 1899. In the arched niche of the altar there are three figures, in the middle St. Philomena surrounded by Mary and Joseph . The mounted crucifix on the south wall dates from the 16th or 17th century, the figure of St. Sebastian on the opposite north wall from the late 17th century. The lecture crucifix was created around 1800. The woodcut on the north wall depicts the Salvator with Mary and the twelve apostles . It is designated as donated here in 1850 .
