The St. Ottilien Chapel, with its cruciform floor plan, is one of the most extraordinary Baroque church buildings in Switzerland. In 1572, a brotherhood was founded for its maintenance. Excavations uncovered foundations from the Middle Ages. In 1669, Hans Thüring Feer had a new building erected by Jost Melchior Zur Gilgen. Further information at: Wikipedia.org. The above data also originates from there. HZ.
