Königskapelle Karrösten

Königskapelle Karrösten, Neo-Gothic chapel in Karrösten, Austria

Königskapelle Karrösten is a Neo-Gothic chapel built from exposed stone masonry between Karrösten and Brennbichl, at the road crossing over the Inn. It was erected from 1854 to plans by Joseph Rokita and consecrated on 8 August 1855. A crypt with room for ten coffins stands in the park beside the chapel.

The chapel was built in 1854 to honor King Friedrich August II of Saxony, who died in a fatal accident at this location that same year. The structure was erected immediately after this tragedy and has served as a memorial in the region ever since.

The chapel is also called Sachsenkapelle after the Saxon royal house. Since 1960 it has served as the burial place of the Wettin dynasty: Friedrich Christian von Sachsen, Margrave of Meissen, chose the crypt behind the chapel for himself and his successors, and four family members rest there, including Maria Emanuel von Sachsen, buried on 30 July 2012 in a zinc coffin inside an oak coffin.

The chapel sits along the main route between the Inn River and Imst, accessible via the road toward Brennbichl. The nearest railway station is at Imst-Pitztal, from which buses and local transportation services provide convenient access.

The chapel became the burial place of the former Saxon royal house: in 1960 Friedrich Christian of Saxony, Margrave of Meissen, chose it for himself and his successors and had a vault for ten coffins built in the park beside the chapel. Maria Emanuel of Saxony was buried there on 30 July 2012 in a zinc coffin sealed inside an oak coffin.
