The spiritual center of the Au was its chapel. The local master mason Wolf König built it in 1630/31 according to the plans of the important Munich master mason Isaak Bader. It was only in 1671, 40 years after its completion, that the salt works chapel – the most important sacred building in the town of Traunstein – was consecrated to Rupert, the saint of salt, and to the patron saint, Duke Maximilian (elector from 1623), the founder of the salt works.

41 years passed from the laying of the foundation stone in 1630 to the consecration. The result is impressive.
