Kapelle Blatten 'Maria Rosenkranzkonigin'

Situated at an altitude of 1740 m, Kapelle Blatten stands as a notable landmark visible from the Matterhorn Express gondolas.

Founded in 1640, this baroque chapel is recognized for its recessed choir and historical significance, including the hiding of weapons during the French invasion in 1798. Originally, the entrance was on the north side, later moved to the east in 1704 with protection from a massive pillared arcade. The chapel underwent renovations in 1983, restoring its vibrant red paintwork.
