    Tips

    October 9, 2025

    The chapel was built in 1464 in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was used for masses, but there were many rules to follow. For example, no mass was allowed on Sundays, no business was allowed in the chapel, and it had to be locked after each mass to prevent pigs from entering.

    After a while, it became clear that the chapel wasn't used much, and people preferred to visit the main church. The chapel served several purposes afterward. It was used as a town hall, later as a prison, and at one point, it was put to practical use as a fire engine storage facility.

    Now it's simply a chapel again.
