“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page,” a famous quote echoed through your mind. As you stand before the Bächl-Kappele, its white walls contrasting against the vibrant green landscape, you can’t help but feel a sense of peace and serenity. You’re a traveler, taking in the beauty and history of Liechtenstein on a walking tour. The Bächl-Kappele is a small, humble chapel, nestled within a tranquil valley on the outskirts of Eschen. It was built in 1831 by the local villagers, who were deeply devout Catholics. They dedicated the chapel to Saint Anna, and it was a place of solace and spiritual refuge for generations. The chapel’s dedication to St. Anna signifies a profound connection to the community. St. Anna was considered the patron saint of mothers and the protection of children, symbolizing the villagers’ devotion to family and faith. Within the chapel, you notice its simple elegance. It is a small structure with only one room and a delicate, almost fragile, altar. The walls are bare, adorned only with a crucifix and framed verses from the Bible. The Bächl-Kappele may be seemingly unassuming, but it stands as a testament to the enduring faith of the people who built it. Although it is no longer in active use, its presence remains a powerful symbol of the deep spirituality that permeates the Swiss and Liechtenstein landscape.
