St.-Anna-Kapelle chapel


The Chapel is located at the village square of Hütten and was built in 1770 of archbishop Sigismund of Schrattenbach for the miners in Leogang. Inside the chapel was an altar of European rarity with scenes of the saints in heaven and the miners at the medieval mining village Hütten. The chapel was dedicated to the silver mining Saint Anne, because in the heyday of mining in Leogang silver was mined.

Insights into the medieval center of Salzburg

In 2016 the Mining and Gothic Museum Leogang bought the imposing Thurnhaus, a medieval residential and defence tower just opposite the original museum building. Museum director Prof. Mayrhofer and his team put all their effort and energies into raising enough money for the acquisition of the Thurnhaus, its restoration and monumental preservation, its connection to the original museum building and the formation of its exhibitions. The medieval residential and defence tower Thurnhaus is itself historic and brings to life the Gothic art and mining exhibitions displayed there.
