Austria - Kleinwalsertal/Baad, Martins Kapelle

A first chapel in Baad was built in 1636. The consecration took place in 1663 in honor of St. Martin, the Virgin Mary and St. Wendelin. The little church was elevated to the status of a branch parish in 1711. The chapel was extended in 1738 and 1767, and demolished in 1851 due to the risk of avalanches.

The present Martins Kapelle (Martins Chapel) was built on a hill to the north of the village in 1851 and consecrated in 1855. Restoration work on the church was carried out in 1905 and from 1971 to 1972. Nowadays the small mountain chapel still towers above the village of Baad.
