Fatimakapelle

The granite chapel stands in Fronwald on an ancient religious site, featuring a statue of Mary created by the same artist of Fatima, Portugal.

The foundation stone of the current chapel was laid in 1949, and the consecration of this religious sanctuary took place in 1951.

From May to October, the chapel holds Fatima Days celebrations on the thirteenth of each month, drawing thousands of pilgrims to Fronwald.

The interior contains mosaic designs with life-sized bronze figures, stained glass windows, and a main altar crafted by sculptor Alrun Illig.

Lightning struck both the maypole and Fronwald area during a 1939 protest against Nazi removal of church decorations, which locals interpreted as divine intervention.
