Verena chapel at Zugerberg
Verena chapel at Zugerberg, Baroque chapel at Zugerberg, Switzerland
Verena Chapel at Zugerberg is a baroque building with a rounded dome topped by an octagonal lantern. Inside, the space follows a Latin cross plan with barrel vaults running throughout its interior sections.
An earlier chapel was built in 1660 following reports of miracles, but the present baroque structure was erected between 1705 and 1710. This new building replaced the older shrine and stood along a mountain path toward Aegeri.
The chapel holds relics of Saint Verena that arrived from Zurzach monastery in 1709. People still visit to light candles and pray in this small, focused space.
The chapel sits on a hillside and is reached by walking paths, so wear sturdy shoes and allow time for the climb. A small residence called Bruderhaus stands nearby if you need information or directions.
The design came from Benedictine Brother Caspar Moosbrugger, who also worked on plans for Einsiedeln Monastery. This connection shows how skilled religious architects moved between major projects of the time.
