 Nothelferkapelle Gaid

Nothelferkapelle in Gaid: situated high above the Etsch Valley.

History and architectural style: built as a summer chapel for the rich, a priest had to make his way here every now and again to read a mass. The building was renovated in 1634. The simple square windows have stone frames. The altar dates from the middle of the 17th century and depicts pictures of the 14 auxiliary saints. There is also a mural of the family Franzin von Zinnenberg who paid for the renovation. Walking: it is a long walk to Gaid, but well worth the effort, and once here you can also climb up to Burg Festenstein.
