Geteilte Kirche am Kreuzbichl, Gothic chapel in Gmünd, Austria
The Geteilte Kirche am Kreuzbichl features two separate sections divided by a road, with a raised sanctuary on one side and a two-story gallery on the other.
Built in 1754 to replace a 1443 roadside shrine, this chapel stood along a major trade route connecting Venice to Salzburg, serving travelers and merchants.
The sanctuary contains a fresco influenced by Michelangelo's artistry, which underwent modifications by Austrian painter Josef Messner in 1861 and additional changes in 1944.
The chapel remains accessible during daylight hours, with services continuing across both sections while traffic passes through the central road between the buildings.
The sanctuary stands two meters above the road level, featuring a heart-shaped holy water container and Roman numeral inscriptions indicating its construction date.
