According to an inscription in the roof truss that was discovered during the demolition of the old chapel, the chapel was built in 1846 and replaced by a relatively accurate copy in 2007. The substructure (hewn stone steps) was retained or reused, as well as the roof truss and parts of the furnishings (grilles, pictures).
The chapel is a walk-in wayside shrine with a circumferential cove and a tent roof, crowned by a gilded patriarchal cross with globe. In the flat-vaulted interior, behind a simple honeycomb grille, there is a picture of the Virgin Mary (print) and a Madonna of Lourdes. In front of the grille, there is a walled-in prayer bench, to the right a marble plaque with the names of soldiers from Sulzbach who died in the world wars.
