Chapel Sankt Wendelin

Sankt Wendelin is a small Roman Catholic chapel in Frastanz, a market town in the Feldkirch district of Vorarlberg. It stands beside the fast-flowing Samina stream in the heart of the settlement. The building belongs to the parish of Frastanz and is dedicated to Saint Wendelin, the patron of shepherds and herdsmen.

The chapel dates from the 15th century and was rebuilt after the Battle of Frastanz in 1499. Inside, an 18th-century statue of Saint John of Nepomuk looks out from a niche in the wall. The stained-glass windows were made by Martin Häusle in 1963. Two large summer linden trees beside the chapel have been protected as natural monuments since 1973.

The chapel serves today as a mortuary chapel for Frastanz and is not open to the public. A short stretch of the old country road, still called Beim Sankt Wendelin, runs past the building. The quiet spot beside the Samina offers a place to pause near the centre of town.
