Plague Chapel
Highlights
Description
Once a place of loss and mourning, the plague chapel is now an idyllic centre of energy. In 1661, the small branch church of the Holy Trinity - popularly known as the Bichlkirche or Plague Chapel - was built for the victims of the plague. A golden high altar, the magnificent side altar in rococo style and the gleaming white barrel vault give the plague chapel its special atmosphere.
