Dachstein Chapel
History
The Dachstein Chapel was built in 1913 by the master builder Matthäus Schlager (1870 - 1959) who also built some other, bigger churches in Austria like the Cathedral in Linz. The chapel was consecrated by the Bishop of Linz, Rudolph Hittmair on 1 September 1914. The interior was not finished because of the First World War.
In 1925 a memorial plaque to the Bishop of Linz, Rudolph Hittmair, was unveiled in the chapel.
The interior decoration was finished in 1994. In 2013 and 2014 the 100 year anniversaries of the laying of the foundation stone and the consecration have been celebrated.
In 2015 there was a restoration of the roof covering, the interior plastering and the facade. The restoration has been paid by the federal state of Upper Austria, the Diocese of Linz, the National Monuments Office, the Roman Catholic parish of Hallstatt and private donors.
