Europakapelle

The chapel features a rhomboid floor plan with a gallery accessed by a large staircase and contains a retractable glass wall dividing the interior space.

The Tyrolean Parliament decided to build this monument near the Europa Bridge on February 9, 1960, with construction completed by architect Hubert Prachensky in 1963.

The chapel honors Saints John Nepomuk and Christopher while serving as a memorial for workers who lost their lives during the construction of the highway.

Visitors can reach the chapel through a footpath from the adjacent parking area, rising approximately 40 meters above the highway level.

The altar stands before a window in the rear wall, providing a direct view of the Europa Bridge, while Karl Plattner's frescoes adorn both interior and exterior walls.
