Hinterbruggen farm chapel

Description

In 1851, Johann Hofmann made a pilgrimage to Rome on foot and recorded the journey in a chronicle. In 1876, he built a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. After it fell into disrepair, Maria Hofmann had a larger chapel built in 1967, thankful that her husband and four sons had returned safely from the Second World War. Bishop Josef Gargitter consecrated it on 3 November 1968.
