For more than 800 years, the two-story circular chapel has guarded the entrance to the abbey. It is considered one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Tyrol and owes its name to its similarity to its – albeit much larger – counterpart in Rome.
The chapel was built around 1200 as a loose replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. In the second half of the 15th century, it was provided with battlements and loopholes for fear of an Ottoman invasion. A Baroque sculpture of the chapel's patron saint, Archangel Michael with the scales of souls, oversees the entrance.

(Former) chapel dedicated to the Archangel Michael, which was built in the 12th century. It was modeled on the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. Today it is used for exhibitions.
