Maria Zell Chapel
Highlight • Religious Site
A place of silence with a long history – the Mariazellkapelle in Schwaz invites you to pause and marvel.
Just a few minutes' walk from the center of Schwaz lies the Mariazellkapelle, a small, quiet place with a great history. It was built in 1880 from wood, as a token of gratitude for an answered prayer to the Mother of God. The chapel bears its name because of the altar painting of the Mariazell Mother of God, which is still preserved today.
Since its construction, it has been lovingly cared for over generations – by dedicated locals, neighbors, and later also by the town. Inside, you will find six relics, a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and an old pull lamp, which bears witness to earlier times.
