In the receipt of the newly built chapel of March 31, 1713, Alban Onuphrius von Singern, the dean and pastor of Eppishausen, was named, who in 1705 had donated a sum to build the chapel in his will.

The chapel consists of a hall with three window axes and a three-sided end. Behind the altar extension , in the vertex axis, there is a narrow, transverse oval window opening. Marble-like painted pilaster strips flank the eastern axis of the long walls, and recessed, arched windows are on the eastern axis. The interior is closed with a shallow barrel , which intersects with the polygonal choir wall in the east. There is a profiled eaves and gable cornice on the outer wall of the chapel. On the north side an arched door leads into the interior, around this is an aedicula made of half-columns and a cranked cornice, above a steep triangular gable in which there is a recessed round arched niche. Above the gable on the west side there is an octagonal roof turret , in the upper part of which there are small, recessed, arched openings on the main sides . The roof turret is crowned by a pointed helmet .
Interior
The altar was made of wood around 1711 and is marbled in red, brown and olive green. The decor is gold-plated and silver-plated. The predella above the box stipes is structured by columns and consists of three glazed shrines. The hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph are depicted in these shrines. The middle of the three glazed shrines is wider, with the two outer shrines in front of them. In the two outer shrines there are statuettes of Saints Rochus and Sebastian . These were formerly set up above the inner columns of the outer shrines. The altar structure also consists of a round arch niche with a replica of Our Lady of Altötting . There are three Corinthian columns on either side and a column in front of the middle one on a volute console. The entablature is richly cranked and consists of segment gable pieces with angels seated on them. In the excerpt there is a half-figure of God the Father with a halo.
The frescoes originate, as the altar, dating back to 1711. Ludwig Dreyer put the frescoes in the years 1955 to 1960 free again and supplemented them. In the middle of the ceiling there is a hexagonal field with a neo-baroque painting. Our Lady can be seen on it on a rose. The middle field is surrounded by six circular fields depicting scenes from the life of Mary in clay painting. Starting in the east in a clockwise direction, the scenes depict the marriage of Mary, the Annunciation , the Visitation of Mary , the birth of Jesus, the flight to Egypt and the death of Mary. Spiral acanthus tendrils are painted in the open space in between.
The gallery parapet contains three medallions surrounded by acanthus tendrils. From left to right these show the Archangel Michael , the Holy Family and a picture of a preaching pastor, presumably the founder of the chapel. Below is the following inscription:
"The highly promoted in god gaiffe well-born / mister Albanus Onuphrius von Singerrt long-time past pastor / zu Eppishausen s sh ... hatt dise kappel von aigner / gel through with onser gaistl. and secular Obrikeith / let it be built so that the vesaunantisen viller vesperr / an son and celebrated adoration of H. Rosenkrantz / would like to be replaced and would like him and us all / to be gracious through the virbith of the mother of god Maria /. It was built in 1711. "
The church stalls date from the second half of the 18th century and were made of softwood . It is not composed and has tail cheeks. There are several wooden figures in the chapel, these are a Mother of God from around 1710, an Anna Selbdritt and Saint Joachim and Saint Michael from the same period. The crucifix dates from the 18th century. The two-door cupboard on the gallery is simply painted and was made from softwood around 1710.
