Geteilte Kirche am Kreuzbichl, Gothic chapel in Gmünd, Austria
The Geteilte Kirche am Kreuzbichl is a Gothic chapel in Gmünd divided by a road into two separate sections. One side houses a raised sanctuary, while the other contains a two-story gallery structure.
The chapel was built in 1754, replacing an earlier 1443 roadside shrine. It stood on a major trade route connecting Venice to Salzburg, attracting numerous travelers and merchants.
The name refers to the unusual division of the church by the road, which remains visible today and splits the building into two parts. This spatial separation continues to shape how the place looks and is experienced by visitors.
The chapel is accessible during daylight hours, with traffic continuing to pass along the road dividing the two building sections. Visitors can explore both sides but should watch for vehicles and respect ongoing services.
The sanctuary sits approximately 2 meters above road level and features a heart-shaped holy water container with fine details. Roman numerals on the walls mark the construction year, adding historical depth to the chapel.
