Schmiedbichlkapelle, Wayside shrine and chapel in Achenkirch, Austria

The Schmiedbichlkapelle features a concrete altar structure with black granite slabs, decorative plinths, and cornices at Ahorn 27 in Achenkirch.

Constructed in 1929, this shrine memorializes brothers Johann and Alois Windhager who died while attempting to rescue people from a fallen power line.

The shrine displays a representation of Mary with Seven Swords and includes leaf tendril reliefs, reflecting regional religious artistic traditions.

Located at the forest edge, the shrine includes a heart-shaped lantern for grave candles and serves as a stopping point along cultural walking routes.

The structure combines Art Deco architectural elements with traditional memorial features, including inscribed granite slabs that tell the story of heroic sacrifice.
