The chapel looks back on around 240 years of history. “It has certainly been renovated a few times over this long period of time,” says Martin Bichlmaier. The building used to belong to the “Ziegler-Hof” opposite, which was demolished in 1976. A plaque on the gable end of the courtyard was attached to the outside of the chapel.

Over the years the chapel has weathered more and more, and some things have broken down. The condition got worse and worse. The Bichlmaier family took the initiative in spring 2015 and began the complete renovation. "Whatever was somehow able to preserve the 'old', we naturally used or prepared to match," says the owner, a descendant of the farmer family. The outdoor area was also attractively laid out.

On the beautifully designed altar there is also a votive plaque that bears witness to the history of the chapel, "as it was told to us as children": In 1776, Anton Rauscher, who was a farmer on the Zieglerhof at the time, was working in the fields bitten by a snake. At the time, it could be fatal.

So the farmer took the vow to build a chapel on this site if he survived. After his recovery, he kept his promise and built the “Zieglerhof Chapel”.
