Chapel of st. Anna

The single-aisle chapel with a hipped roof stands on the site in front of the former main town gate. It was built in 1744 as a symbol of gratitude for sparing the town from being despoiled by French soldiers in 1742. The semicircular entrance portal is decorated with cartouches with a Latin inscription and a chronogram. A recess for the sculpture of the saint was built in the gable. A group of wooden Baroque statues representing the Holy Mother of Mary and Grandmother of Jesus, St. Joseph and St. Joachim were originally installed in the altar recess, and the sculptures of St. John the Evangelist and the Virgin Mary in the side niches.
