Lorettokapelle

The Loreto Chapel is located just above Oberkapfenberg Castle.

The Loreto Chapel, built in the 17th century (693m above sea level) is only a few minutes' walk away, at the highest point of Kapfenberg

Around the chapel you can still see the surrounding walls of the first castle in "Chaffenberch", documented in 1173.

The interior and the altar of the chapel date from the 1870s.
If you want to visit the chapel, contact Oberkapfenberg Castle.

The chapel is particularly popular for Christian celebrations in selected circles: baptisms, weddings, anniversaries, etc.

The "Black Madonna of Maria Loret (t) o" has been a popular pilgrimage destination up to our time.
In place of the first castle from around 1140, the Loreto Chapel was built in 1676; the interior is from 1770.
The "Braid of Agnes von Stubenberg" is also kept in the chapel.
