The two-storey chapel was built by order of the lords and miners of Gossensass/Colle Isarco in a late Gothic style. Adam Scheiter from Sterzing/Vipiteno was engaged as master builder by Lienhard Pfarrkircher. The influence of the Bavarian “Danubian School” is recognizable by the late Gothic altar. The stair was created by the master craftsman Matthias Stöberl of Sterzing/Vipiteno. The basement houses a crypt, which is used as a mortuary chapel.
