Sights & Sites
This chapel was originally built after a local woodsman saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary in the clouds above the site in 1519. The first stone for the building was laid a month after the vision.
The chapel still holds services to this day and is a place that many people make pilgrimages to.
There is a shop on site where you can buy books and a drink.
