Saint Ulrico Chapel. To the shouldes of the old railway station, making
for a path that lead to the Red Alpin Hut , in “Bagni d'Ilistra” zone
nearly hidden between the trees, you can find the Saint Ulrico Chapel.
Built
up on the foundations of the
 Trecentesca
Chapel, of which the three walls of the steeple remain visible, in late
Gothic style, the Saint Ulrico Chapel was built in 1491 from Master
Valentin Winkler from Falzes, that has completed from few years the
Church of Saint Sigismondo. Inside of the Chapel you can find a
beautiful Altar , in late Renaissance, dated 1628. To the German Caspar
Lindner of Rorschach, with workshop in Bressanone, is attributed the
wood painting representing Saint Ulrico and Saint George of Cappadocia.
In this work there are obvious connections with those of painter Orazio
Giovannelli contemporary of Caspar Lindner of Rorschach. The
balustrade of Pulpit, dated 1775, is painted from Christian Renzler. In
it there are represented the Sacred Heart of Christ and Saint George
and Saint Martin in saddle to their horses. Similar in style to the
sculptures of the Altar with little door of the Church of Saint
Sigismondo, it is the sculpture of Patron Saint, just Saint Ulrico,
 patron
of the wayfarers. He has the Crosier and the attribute of the fish
respective in the right hand and in the left and dressed in Pontifical
dress with a Mitra.
