Chapel of St. Mary, Acletta

Description

Architectural history: On the occasion of an episcopal visitation trip, the chapel of Our Lady of Acletta was consecrated on 24 August 1643. The date of the smaller bell (1635) is likely to indicate the new building several years earlier, while the Veronica painting from 1605 can be evidence of the fact that a chapel already stood here before. The present chapel is a building completed in 1670, rebuilt from scratch and consecrated on 12 July 1672. specifications: The east-facing complex is felt with chapels arranged in the middle and a straight choir end according to the shape of the cross. The chapels remain under the continuous main cornice and do not acquire transept functions. Stitch-arched windows in the wall and vaulted zone. In the western Jochstuhl a gallery built in 1740. The doors on the western front date from 1670. Between the choir and the north chapel is the attached sacristy. Above the choir stands an open roof rider with an octagonal pointed helmet. stucco: The wall pilasters are crowned by ionizing capitals. Wall paintings: The frieze of the vault has been composed in a naïve-rural way with staffage-like biblical scenes. equipment: The high altar in its design from 1672, was a stucco structure. The midfield flanked by two columns of stucco marble, which is much narrower than today's main image, contained the depiction of the Holy Family dated 1657. Around 1760-1770 the whole structure was skilfully covered with rococo decoration. The side altars on the back walls of the chapel have stucco attachments from the time of construction. Pulpit, round body with a bulging foot. Everything colorfully marbled and covered with rocaill decoration. Wood-carved figure of Mary, wood-carved reliquaries, 1760. Bells: dates from 1635 and 1670, with inscriptions.
