The Burgstall Chapel, officially the “Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows”, is located on the southern edge of Alt-Kissing on the eastern slope of the Lechrain. Built in 1685 under the direction of the Jesuits, it stands on an artificially raised hill that was part of a medieval castle complex. The chapel quickly developed into a popular place of pilgrimage in the region. Architecturally, the Burgstall Chapel is characterized by its baroque design. Particularly noteworthy are the artistic stucco work, which probably comes from one of the Schmuzer brothers, as well as the frescoes from the circle of Matthäus Günther, which depict scenes from the life of Jesus and Mary. The magnificent baroque altar houses a larger-than-life figure of Our Lady of Sorrows, flanked by Saints Lawrence and Stephen. An ornate wrought iron grille from 1751 separates the chancel from the rest of the chapel. The chapel is accessible via a stately stone staircase resting on brick arches. Under the first arch is the “crypt chapel” with a depiction of the “Scourge Savior” from 1743, created by Johann Caspar Öberle. To the north of the hill, in the area of the former outer bailey, a Calvary was built in 1906. A war memorial commemorates those who fell in both world wars. The Burgstall Chapel is not only a place of prayer, but also an important cultural heritage of the region. Visitors can tour the chapel and admire the impressive baroque architecture and the artistic decorations.
