The wooden shrine, with a picture of the patron saint St. Joseph, commemorates Josef Schachleitner, who died here in the fall of 1945 (!). Built in ca. 1945, it was somewhat frail at that time, and after a fire in ca. 2003, it was replaced. The new shrine is in general quite similar to the original, except for a small relief of the Virgin Mary. Besides that, the wrong year was inscribed.
