The church was set up in a residential building next to the Raith family's restaurant and was completed in 1995. The altar of the chapel comes from the foundation of Count von Preysing in Moos. This foundation also included the monastery school, a girls' school run by the Poor School Sisters. After the foundation was closed, the neo-Gothic altar was also up for sale. Erna Raith, the initiator of the chapel, took it and brought the antiquarian piece to Kerschbaum in excellent condition. The chapel was built in the Gothic style and dedicated to St. Leonhard. Inside it houses a black Madonna.
