Way Chapel St. Magnus
This Roman Catholic listed wayside chapel hl. Magnus is at the power station in the Innerbraz community in the Bludenz district in Vorarlberg . It is consecrated to St. Magnus and belongs to the parish church of Braz and thus to the dean's office Bludenz-Sonnenberg in the diocese of Feldkirch .
The building ( 695 m above sea level ) was erected according to the inscription on the chapel and the altarpiece in 1634 and is about 600 meters as the crow flies from the village center of Innerbraz.
Church building
The chapel stands on a slight slope and has a rectangular shape with an open wooden vestibule facing northeast / southwest. To the northeast is the rectangular bell ridge and the altar. The gable roof and the bell ridge are covered with wooden shingles. There is a cross on the bell ridge. The listed Mariahilf Chapel on Mühleplatz in Innerbraz , built around 1630, is very similar .
The chapel was built by Peter Assmann, his wife Anna Lathernere and Gregori Probst. Access to the chapel is made impossible by an iron grille. The exposed interior of the room takes place exclusively through the iron grille.
The altarpiece shows Saint Magnus with a book and a cross in his left hand and a walking stick in his right hand in a typical regional landscape. In the lower left corner of the altarpiece there is a small figure, in the background the Sankt Mang monastery in Füssen . There is an inscription under the altarpiece: 16. Magnus ora pro nobis 34 | Peter Assmann Anna Lathernere .
On the side wall there is a statue of St. John of Nepomuk from the 18th century and a crucifix from the 19th century.
Way of St. James
A section of the Jakobsweg Landeck – Einsiedeln , which leads through Vorarlberg, the Klostertal and the Walgau , runs via Innerbraz - Ausserbraz - Oberradin - St. Leonhard to Bludenz .
Location and traffic
Innerbraz is now off the main traffic routes. The main street, the Arlbergstraße , leads straight through Innerbraz past the parish church of Braz and also the Magnus chapel. For many centuries this road was the main connection route through the Klostertal between the Arlberg Pass and Bludenz (further into the Walgau and Rhine Valley). The route of the Arlbergbahn runs about 400 m above the chapel and 150 m below it is the Arlberg expressway S16 (E60).
