Verena chapel at Zugerberg, Baroque chapel at Zugerberg, Switzerland

The Verena Chapel features a round dome topped with an octagonal lantern, following a Latin cross layout with barrel vaults throughout its interior sections.

Built between 1705 and 1710 near a mountain path to Ägeri, the chapel replaced an earlier structure from 1660 that was constructed after reports of miracles.

The chapel maintains relics from Saint Verena, received from Zurzach monastery in 1709, making it a destination for religious gatherings and personal reflection.

Visitors can locate the chapel at coordinates 47.16537 latitude and 8.531 longitude, with the adjacent Bruderhaus serving as the residence for the chapel sacristan.

The chapel design was created by Benedictine Brother Caspar Moosbrugger, who also contributed to the architectural plans of Einsiedeln Monastery.
