Salvenkirchl, Baroque chapel at Hohe Salve summit in Westendorf, Austria
The Salvenkirchl stands at 1829 meters altitude, featuring a two-section masonry design with a bell tower and rounded sound openings.
Originally documented in 1589, the chapel was rebuilt in 1641 after lightning destroyed the first structure, marking a significant architectural transformation.
The chapel holds religious services on specific dates, with the main celebration occurring on Annatag, maintaining centuries-old regional traditions.
Visitors can reach the chapel using gondola lifts from Hopfgarten or Hochsöll, making it accessible throughout different seasons of the year.
The interior contains an altar from 1666 depicting the Baptism of Jesus, accompanied by statues of Saint John the Baptist and Saint Bartholomew.
