Topographically attractively situated at the Nagelfluhru?cken, next to the Krumbacher moor, the existing Lourdes ?Chapel was rebuilt. A renovation of the old chapel was no longer possible and to regenerate the existing was not the desired aim of the community of Krumbach. Rather, to use the existing knowledge and the courage to create the new. Several years of designing and constructing made an exempla- ry project visible. More than a hundred of volunteers made it possible to realize the project.
