Inscription with the history of the origin of the pilgrimage chapel

history

Above the entrance door in the interior of the chapel, an inscription provides information about the origin of the chapel. The image of grace, which is venerated today in the small house of God, used to stand on a tree. Miners worshiped the image of the Mother of God. In 1777 Johann Gapp built a first, small chapel. The current building dates back to 1829. The inscription reads about this event: "On July 26th of the same year [meaning 1829] the miraculous image was transferred to this chapel with a large crowd shedding frequent tears of joy with the sound of solemn music and the cracking of guns."

Building description

The two-bay wall construction with a choir closing on three sides and a wooden turret on the gable roof has a round arch portal on the western gable facade and two round arched window openings on the eaves. The facades are designed with plaster structuring on the building edges and wall openings. The interior is covered with a barrel vault with stitch caps . At the altar is the miraculous image of the Madonna and Child from the 18th century in a glass shrine.

To this day, people make pilgrimages to the Sinnesbrunn pilgrimage chapel.
