chapel st. Georg, Hinterschellenberg

In Hinterschellenberg is one dedicated to St. George dedicated chapel. Nothing is known about their origins. However, the findings of the renovation of 1980/81 showed that the original chapel must have been built around 1700, but the building in its current form dates from around 1850/55.

Landvogt Joseph Schuppler reports on the chapel in the country description from 1815: "On the upper (rear) Schellenberg there is a small chapel, in which church services are often held from Bendern, where this place is a parish."

The Kapile - as they call their chapel - has always been of great importance to the people of Hinterschellenberg. For many years St. George has been celebrated every Thursday at 7.30 p.m. Mass celebrated.

Catholic chapel, community and parish of Schellenberg, district of Hinterschellenberg, 623 m asl. A first building is probably around the turn of the 17th/18th. century through private initiative. Facing south-east, the Chapel of St. George originally consisted of a square nave with a trapezoidal chancel and turret. The current form of the chapel of St. George corresponds to an extension in the middle of the 19th century, the nave and the choir were enlarged and the interior was raised. 1944/45 renovation. After an excavation and an examination of the building history, the chapel was renovated in 1980/81 by the architect Raimund Hassler. Today's furnishings: Crucifix (early 17th century) in the baroque altar structure (1659), former altarpiece depicting St. George (late 19th century), oil painting of St. George (17th century), baroque tabernacle (mid-17th century).
