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

The local master mason Wolf König built the chapel in 1630/31 according to plans by the important Munich master mason Isaak Bader. Only in 1671, i.e. 40 years after its completion, was the salt works chapel - the most important sacred building in the town of Traunstein - completed and dedicated to the salt saint Rupert and the namesake Duke Maximilian (elector from 1623), the founder of the salt works.
