The chapel in Lauterbach was built on a higher plateau in the center of Lauterbach and, according to the plan on display at the town hall, dates from 1884. At that time, Lauterbach was already quite large: in 1880, there were 48 houses and around 340 inhabitants. For the people of the town, the chapel was intended to be a place of prayer and closeness to God. The construction costs amounted to 3,000 guilders. However, the Krems architect had to take into account the masonry that had already been built in his design.

The majority of the village chapels in our area were built in the 19th century. They adhered to the architectural style established in the Baroque period with its curved shapes and rich figural decoration. In the second half of the 19th century, the classicist style prevailed and simple, plainer forms came to the fore.

The altar

was made in the Baroque style and decorated with classicist elements. In general, the boundary between the styles is not sharp. The altarpiece shows the Holy Family under the protection of the Holy Spirit. The rural population has a close relationship with the Mother of God, the patron saint of Christianity, and with Joseph of Nazareth, who is also the patron saint of the entire church - as well as with the saints to the left and right of the altarpiece, St. Florian and St. Leonhard.
