Description

The Reindlau Chapel was built in the 19th century and dedicated as a cross chapel to the Holy Cross. It is the only cross chapel in the Leutasch Valley.

The altar depicts a crucifixion group, with Jesus and the heart of Mary represented on a radiant wreath beneath the cross. Statues of the sorrowful Mother of God and the thorn-crowned Savior can be found, as well as a statue of the Old Testament St. Rachel on the left side of the altar and that of St. Mary Magdalene on the right. Reliquaries, a letter of indulgence, and a Stations of the Cross print in five languages are also found inside the chapel. The ceiling painting represents God the Father, and the baldachin and a starry sky on the vault are from Josef Zunterer from Seefeld (Pinzit 1856).

The ownership of the chapel, which accommodates up to 25 people, reflects once again how inheritances, marriages, and similar factors had an influence. The chapel belongs to the Reindlau family, but the land belongs to the Muchn farmer in the district of Klamm. For many years, the Albrecht family lovingly took care of the chapel.
