    The garnet chapel is located in the middle of the wonderful Zillertal mountains on the sunny plateau of the Penkenjoch. It uniquely combines the nature of the garnet stone, which was previously quarried in the Stillupptal, and local woods. The garnet chapel is consecrated to the Blessed Engelbert Kolland, who comes from the Zillertal.

    The Garnet Chapel or “Capella Granata”, as it is also called, was planned by Mario Botta. The architect, who comes from the Swiss canton of Ticino, is particularly known for his strictly geometric and simple design language. The interior is decorated with an image / portrait of the Blessed in the form of a mosaic, which was made from 5 local woods by the sculptor Markus Thurner. Opposite the portrait is the icon of Our Lady of Kazan.
