Chapel in the hamlet of Plun above Welsberg

Description

A sculpture known as “Unser Herr im Elend” (the Suffering Christ) once stood on the chapel’s altar. In 1936, Johann Peskoller replaced it with frescoes of the Sacred Heart with angels and Saints Joseph, Isidore and Notburga in the local mountain landscape. Outside is an Assumption of Mary inspired by Murillo. A wooden plaque recalls Jesuit priest Johann Schwingshackl, who grew up at Vorderplunerhof farm.
