EN: The Zermeiggern chapel is located about a kilometer south of Saas-Almagell on the road to Mattmark.
The building is in a modern yet rustic style and has the layout of an elongated pentagon.
The chapel was built in 1962 to replace an older chapel on the opposite side of the street. This one was founded in 1707 and rebuilt in 1910. In the 1960s, it had to make way for an equalization basin of the Mattmark dam.
