Holy Hüsli Chapel, Rapperswil
Heilig Hüsli the bridge chapel at the former bridge head of the historic Rapperswil–Hurden wooden bridge
The sacred building was erected in its present form as a stone building in 1551, on the northern bridgehead of the pier, the former entrance at today's Fischmarktplatz in the old town of Rapperswil, which was walled in until 1836. The chapel stands on an approximately four meter high substructure, measures just 2 x 3 meters, with an eaves height of around three and a half meters, with a west-facing apse in which a miraculous image was exhibited. A wooden bridge chapel in Rapperswil was first mentioned in 1485; In all probability, however, a chapel was built on this section of the Way of St. James when the pier was built in 1360.

Pause before the start of the stage at the small bridge chapel. Since 1551 she is in the current design there and dismisses the pilgrims direction Einsiedeln.
