"Die neuromische Kapelle steht seitlich vom heutigen Weg zur Abteikirche. Erbaut wurde sie 1864 an der Stelle einer mittelalterlichen Toranlage. Ihren Namen hat sie seit der Neugründung der Abtei durch die Beuroner Benediktiner im Jahr 1892. Das Schweizer Dach des Kirchleins ist Pater Mauricius Gisler zuzuschreiben, einem Angehörigen der Erzabtei Beuron, der im Kanton Uri aufgewachsen war und Architektur studiert hatte.

In den Jahren 1980 bis 1984 wurde die Kapelle innen neu gestaltet. Die Ausmalung der Wände und die Fenster schuf Professor Georg Meistermann (1911–1990). Die Fenster zeigen den heiligen Christophorus, Johannes den Täufer, Benedikt von Nursia und Hildegard von Bingen sowie die sieben Siegel aus der Geheimen Offenbarung. Drei Standleuchter und zwei Weihwasserbecken entstanden nach einem Vorbild von Ewald Mataré († 1965); die Madonna schuf Karl Osemann."

EN (Translation):
"The new Romanesque chapel stands on the side of today's road to the Abbey Church, built in 1864 on the site of a medieval gateway, named after the Benedictine abbey in 1892. The Swiss roof of the church is attributed to Father Mauricius Gisler , a member of the Erzabtei Beuron, who had grown up in the canton of Uri and studied architecture.

Between 1980 and 1984 the chapel was redesigned. The profiling of the walls and the windows created Professor Georg Meistermann (1911-1990). The windows show Saint Christopher, John the Baptist, Benedict of Nursia and Hildegard of Bingen as well as the seven seals from the Secret Revelation. Three chandeliers and two holy water basins were built according to a model by Ewald Mataré († 1965); the Madonna created Karl Osemann. "
