The first chapel in Furggstalden probably existed as early as the 17th century. During the episcopal visitation in 1897, the prayer house in Furggstalden, dedicated to Saint Anne, was inspected and found in poor condition. A few years later, an avalanche swept away the chapel, which was never rebuilt. Only the chapel bell was saved.
This bell now hangs again in the chapel, which was rebuilt in 2006 on the initiative of Caesar Zurbriggen. The motif of the large choir window depicts the visit of Mary to her cousin Elizabeth.
