The Klamm Chapel (also called the Hell Chapel) was first mentioned in 1697 and is dedicated to Saint James. Information about its origin and renovations can be found in an essay by Pastor A. Goller in the Tiroler Heimatblätter from the 1930s: “The origin of the chapel presumably dates back to the end of the 17th century, while its present appearance dates from the 1880s. At that time, a storm stripped it down to the bare wall, thus necessitating a thorough renovation beforehand.”

Today, the chapel is no longer as tranquil as it was until 1912, when only a small footpath connected Bavaria and Tyrol. However, one can now walk down to the impressive Leutascher Ghost Gorge at this very spot. The altar painting, which shows St. James in oil, suggests that travelers chose this cross-border route even at the time the chapel was built. St. James is also considered the patron saint of travelers and pilgrims.
