Chapel

• Description: View of the chapel. The chapel contains numerous works of art. In addition to the ornamental architectural characteristics such as vaulted ceilings, arcading arches, columns, and telescopic stained glass windows, the chapel has two paintings hanging on each side of the alter. The one to the left is called "Vision of St. Bernard" and dates around the year 1540. The baptismal font pictured here dates back 800 years and was used in the original monastery as it is still used today by the church.
