Rosalienkapelle Forchtenstein, Catholic pilgrimage church in Forchtenstein, Austria
The Rosalien Chapel stands at the highest elevation of the Rosaliengebirge, featuring a cross-shaped layout and a tower with a pyramidal spire.
Prince Paul Esterhazy commissioned the stone church construction in 1670, replacing a wooden chapel from 1644 at the same location.
The black high altar displays a grotto with Saint Rosalia in golden attire, while side altars feature statues of plague saints Sebastian and Rochus.
The chapel opens for holy mass on Sundays and holidays between May and October, offering views of Forchtenstein Castle and Lake Neusiedl.
The pulpit includes statues of four evangelists in shell niches, with Archangel Michael positioned on the sound board above.
