Ulrichsbrunn-Kapelle

Passail, Styria

The chapel dedicated to St. Ulrich, also called Ulrichsbrunn-Chapel, is a pilgrimage church in the municipality of Semriach, with a history dating back to the 18th century. The first small church was built after 1720 at the site of an Ulrichs column, which was renewed after a lightning strike in 1811 and renovated in 1963 and 1999. In front of the chapel, there is a masonry grotto with a wayside shrine depicting St. Ulrich, dating from the 18th century. According to legend, the water from the spring is said to heal eye ailments.
