Kapelle Nossa Dunna dallas Dolurs, Andiast

According to the inscription, the chapel was built in 1736 according to a foundation of Durisch Capaul. A renovation took place according to the dated altar stone in 1883. On the occasion of the renovation of 1988, the chapel received a new floor and a new seating. The last renovation took place in 1993.

The choir faces northwest, retracted, closed on three sides and raised by one step. It is vaulted with a combination of barrel and dome with two lateral stitch caps. A simple stucco cornice rests on narrow pilasters. On the ceiling there is a stucco medallion with the inscription: as a thank you and in memory of the founder of the chapel.

On the choir side walls are two high rectangular barred windows with stitch-arched lining. The altar has a pretty antependium depicting the Pietà (dated 1752). The figures are surrounded by flower tendrils. On the canteen there is a predella with a table crucifix and altar candles. At the front of the upper step of the perdella there are two offset bases on the outside. On these there are a total of four turned, blue ionizing columns, which are wrapped in gold leaves and support gold-plated capitals at the top.

In the altar niche, which is round-arched at the top, there is a statuette of The Madonna Dolorosa in a blue/gold dress, pierced by a sword. In the altar structure, a golden heart can be seen in the acanthus leaves and two seated baroque angels on the outside.

On each longitudinal side, two stitch caps cut into the ceiling, and in a rounded medallion is a picture painted by Linus Flepp of Disentis, painted in 1993. It represents the event that led to the construction of the chapel: Durisch Capaul, the founder of the chapel, is rescued from a snowstorm with the help of Our Lady Mary.
