history

The chapel was built in the early 18th century and was first mentioned in 1712. The chapel was restored in 1819. During a renovation from 1949 to 1950, the sacristy was added and the exterior was last renewed in 1981.

Building description

The chapel is a three- bay room with a not quite semicircular end divided into three axes . The wall structure consists of Tuscan pilasters kinked in the choir corners . The room has a korbbogige lunette ton , a so-called bar ceiling. The two eastern bays have recessed, arched windows. The east of the south side is shortened by the sacristy door below. A wooden gallery with fielded, whitewashed parapets is built into the west yoke . Underneath there are oval windows on both sides, the northern one being walled up. On the outside it is provided with a crown stone as a cover. In the west there is an arched door, the door leaf of which is designed in a simple classical style. Two arched windows above the gallery are drawn in at the top and bottom. In front of the door flanked by four-pass peepholes there is a sign with a gable roof and an arched door in the north. The facades are divided into narrow, flat pilasters, which are cranked at the upper ends like capitals with the profiled eaves cornice . The end of the choir is divided by pilasters into three axes bent at the base. The west gable is divided into two volute-shaped floors by a profile cornice . In the middle of the gable, the lower part of the tower begins on a square floor plan. This interrupts the cornice of the pediment. The tower is decorated with corner pilasters and small arched openings under the cornice-free end. The upper part is designed octagonal and has rectangular panels. There are quatrefoil openings on the main sides. The onion hood is covered with sheet metal. The sacristy, which was added to the south of the chapel in 1949, has a hipped roof and oval windows on the east and west sides.

Furnishing

The ceiling picture, painted with oil on canvas, dates from the middle of the 18th century. It is surrounded by a stucco frame and shows the torture of St. Lawrence . The rectangular format has a three-lobed end. The picture could originally have been an altarpiece , possibly from the church of Kirch-Siebnach .

The altar was made around 1720-1730. It is made of marbled wood and has a box stipes flanked by two classicist cupboards. In the structure it has a retracted, round-arched panel . Inside there is a newly painted , Gothic figure of Our Lady from the late 15th century, which is flanked by two statuettes. They represent the plague saints Rochus and Sebastian and come from the second quarter of the 18th century. There is a pilaster on both sides and a Corinthian column on the outside . In front of it is another inclined column with a cranked entablature and a bulged frieze . The cornice is polygonally raised on three sides above the central panel . The segmentbogig closing extract contains a new painting of St. Wendelin . It is flanked by columns and volutes that merge into the putti-studded segment gables above the front columns.

In the flanking cupboards there are small gilded rococo shrines with clad wax half-figures on early classical plinths. The northern one depicts St. Joseph , the southern one the Mother of God. The figures date from the end of the 18th century. The small altar crucifix has a wooden core with brass cladding and silver-plated fittings. It dates from the middle of the 18th century.

The chest of drawers used as a sideboard comes from the third quarter of the 18th century and is a good, lively Rococo work. It has tail feet with a concave-convex front and richly carved decoration. It is painted purple, cream-colored and gold and probably originally came from a secular building.

The stalls with curved oak beams come from the 18th or early 19th century, the framed crucifix from the second half of the 18th century. The busts of the painful Savior and the Mater Dolorosa from around 1800 are white and gold and stand on classicist marbled plinths with consoles . The offering box comes from the same period and is shaped like a Hermes pillar .
