The chapel was consecrated on the Feast of the Snows, August 6, 1911. The First World War and the events of the post-war period were not particularly beneficial to the church. Alpine summer tourism, as in the times of the monarchy, only slowly picked up again, the pasture itself was divided by the border, and fortifications and barracks were built on the now Italian side. The intended definition of the state border was abandoned solely for the sake of the small church, in order to keep the chapel on Austrian territory.

The small chapel stands alone on a wide alpine meadow high on the ridge of the Carnic Alps. When the church was built, the heavily guarded border ran further south, deep down in the valley. Meanwhile, the Italian border runs directly over the ridge, but fortunately you can now get by without a border post and all hikers can easily visit both countries.
