Chapel of Grace “Mary, Salvation of the Sick”

The first chapel, built between 1680 and 1682, was in the shape of an octagon. In 1731 work began on adding a nave. Part of the octagon remained as a choir.
The interior decoration includes the high altar that still exists today, the two confessionals and the carved chair cheeks. The Chapel of Grace was inaugurated on September 13, 1747.
The first renovations took place in 1844 and 1880. The curved west gallery was also installed in the next one, 1911-18.
In 1948, church painter I. Weininger painted the ceiling fresco: “The Assumption of Mary”.
The building has dimensions of 24.6 x 8.5 m. The design and structure are extremely simple.
The high altar, with a winding column between two pilasters, has a rich crowning. God the Father is enthroned above. There are four figures of saints on pedestals (Francis Xavier and Johannes Nepomuk on the outside, Joachim and Joseph on the inside). The central shrine contains the miraculous image; it forms the core of the pilgrimage. The crowned Madonna and Child bends down to the worshiper, the right one raised in blessing. On her left arm she carries the child of God, who also blesses with her right and holds the globe with her left. A wreath of clouds with angels surrounds the miraculous image.
