Felsenkapelle Gschlößtal, Cave chapel in Matrei in Osttirol, Austria.
The Felsenkapelle Gschlößtal sits beneath a massive rock block at 1690 meters elevation, featuring a stone vault and pointed arch windows on its facade.
Originally constructed in 1688 by Alpine owners, the chapel was relocated in 1870 into a natural cave due to avalanche risks in its previous location.
The interior contains a wooden altar with dark marble, an 18th-century painting of Archangel Michael, and an alabaster figure of Mary beneath a crucifix.
Visitors can reach the chapel via a three-kilometer hiking trail from Gschlößbach bridge, with an elevation gain of 200 meters through marked paths.
The chapel integrates into a natural rock formation, utilizing an existing cave that was expanded to create its distinctive stone-vaulted ceiling structure.
