Maria Schnee Chapel

The chapel, oddly ancient-looking, located on a hill, was built in 1637 and extended in 1780/1856. The chapel is a foundation by Lukas Tschofen II. Maria Schnee is a local pilgrimage site with several legends. The Mariahilf image (now on the right side of the nave) once served as the image of grace, as shown by votive pictures no longer kept in the chapel.
