St. Karl Borromäus Chapel, Catholic chapel in Sachseln, Switzerland.

The chapel stands on a rock formation called Fluo, featuring painted ceiling panels in both the nave and choir sections of the building.

Construction of the chapel took place between 1614 and 1618, with major restoration work performed in 1980 and 1981 to maintain its structure.

The interior walls display oil paintings from the 17th century depicting scenes from the lives of Bruder Klaus and Saint Karl Borromäus.

The chapel provides seating for 120 people and maintains regular operating hours for visitors interested in exploring its architectural details.

The early Baroque high altar within the chapel originated as a gift from the Spanish envoy to the Swiss Confederation.
