Loreto Chapel

Replica of the Holy House of Nazareth; According to the legend 1291/94 transferred by angels first to Yugoslavia, then to Italy to the laurel grove of the Lady Loreta.

All Loreto chapels go back to this house in Loreto (near Ancona on the east coast of Italy).
Built according to the designs and under the direction of the Steyr cabinetmaker Johann Jaunisch; inaugurated by Franz Josef Rudigier, Bishop in Linz on 29.6.1876; Probably the youngest Loreto chapel in Central Europe.

Furnishings
Magnificent neo-Gothic altar; in the center the typical Loreto Madonna with the Child Jesus - wrapped in the "Dalmatica"; accompanying figures: St. Joseph and St. Anne; the walls recall the bricks of the Holy House, a frieze separates them from the blue sky with golden stars.

1998 - 2000: Exterior and interior restoration
