Kapelle Ewil
Photo: Obwalden Tourismus

The Ewil Chapel combines the pilgrimage tradition along the Way of St. James with impressive sacred art - from St. Apollonia to the statue of St. James.

The first mention of a chapel in Ewil dates back to 1593. The current building was constructed between 1746 and 1748 and was extensively restored in 1990.

The classicist stucco altar from 1844 shows the martyrdom of St. Apollonia in the main picture. As the patron saint of dentists, she is traditionally invoked by the faithful for toothache. A wooden statue of St. James has stood above the entrance portal inside the chapel, which is located on the historic Way of St. James, since 2004.
