Farm chapel in the Ampfertal Valley

Description

The farm chapel in the Ampfertal Valley was built around 1817. On its north side is a “plague crucifix”, showing the blood-covered body of Christ alongside a lance and a vinegar-soaked sponge. According to tradition, Agnes Ampferthaler saw an image of the Virgin Mary in a fountain around 1815, but it mysteriously dissolved. Thomas and Dominikus Ampferthaler subsequently had the chapel built.
