The All Saints' Chapel in the lower village of Weggis is a special sacred building. With its rich interior decoration and the artistically outstanding fresco cycle, the chapel goes beyond the scope of the normal, mostly modest chapel foundations.
The chapel, which is now a listed building, was moved by 2 metres in 1978 in a widely acclaimed move to allow the narrow road to be widened to accommodate the increasing traffic.
History
