Dickat house chapel
The Dickat Chapel stands on a hill above the Schörgerbauern. The chapel is all brick and has two windows (stained glass). Four prayer stools serve for devotion. The altarpiece depicts the Queen of the Rosary with St. Dominic and all the stands. It was built in 1820 and decorated with vault paintings by a painter named Gros-Schopf.
Since the renovation in 1982, all the frescoes on the vault have been painted over and replaced with images of similar meaning: Envy, Betrayal, Hope, Faith- and on the vault Christ. A new wrought iron grate was also installed in front of the altar to protect the altarpiece from thieves. The restorer was the painter Karli Monitzer, who is also the head of the Oberndorf ski school.
The altarpiece is referred to in a rather large votive painting from 1860: Jesus on the lap of the Mother of God, handing the St. Dominic (depicted with his attribute, a torch-bearing dog – “domini canis”) the rosary, in front of it a votary
The gable field was once also adorned by a frestergottes with the two cattle patrons Leonhard and Sylvester, who are popular in this area, as protectors of Oberndorf. The two cattle patrons were pointed to on either side of the painting by banners with the text:
“St. Leonhard and St. Sylvester protect us from rinderpest and other diseases of many kinds commended to your intercession.”
