Fatima Chapel

The Fatima Chapel on Gillisberg was consecrated to the Mother of God Mary by Pastor Josef Schlosser on August 13, 1966 and is intended to commemorate the secrets of Fatima. The construction of this chapel is primarily the work of the Gillisberg village community, which contributed labor and goods as well as monetary donations.
Nestled between forest and field, it stands high above the Regental. Architecturally, it resembles the extension of the Chamerau parish church, especially since its floor plan is also in the shape of an octagon. Visitors see the Madonna of Fatima as a glass mosaic image, which was created by August Philipp Henneberger. In 1997, this small village chapel received a bell tower and bell, which Alfons Schönberger donated.
From May to October, Fatima devotions take place here on the 13th of each month.
