Dietl-Kapelle

Mrs. Zäzilia Hackl, owner of the Dietlgut estate, had the chapel built in 1882 out of gratitude after her children, who had fallen seriously ill after a mountain accident, recovered. Since then, the house of God has been owned by the Fessl family. When the chapel was renovated in 1996, the Neo-Gothic altar was removed and a small podium was erected in the apse: now the chapel is available for both ecclesiastical celebrations such as baptisms and weddings, and for cultural events such as concerts and candlelight readings. For the simple interior design, the artists chose materials that relate to the valley and the people living here. Alois Bauer was the creator of the altar table, which he designed from iron and wood. In doing so, he referenced the livelihoods of the population in the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen region. Christine Bauer designed the stylized cross and painted it with earth on canvas. It may be reminiscent of the "Pfoadl" (smock) worn by the girl in 1882 when she reached the Dietlgut to get help for her injured brother. The windows, made of hand-blown stained glass, bathe the altar area in a warm light and convey a hopeful sense of security in this place of silence.
