La-Salette-Kapelle, Catholic chapel on Fuchsberg hill in Leutkirch im Allgäu, Germany.
Description

History
The chapel was constructed in 1866 after a local pastor recovered from illness and fulfilled his vow to build a shrine. This act of gratitude became the foundation for the sacred site that stands today.
