This two-storey round building, a special gem, dates back to the 13th century.
The charnel house stands northeast of the church and is dedicated to St. Michael. The two-storey Romanesque building with semi-circular apse in the east has buttress-like wall reinforcements. The ossuary is in the basement, and the chapel with a six-part ribbed vault is on the upper floor. The frescoes show strong South Tyrolean influence and are marked 1428. The Annunciation scene is painted in the eastern vault cap and Christ as the Judge of the World in the western cap. In the remaining vault caps, the twelve apostles are depicted in groups of three, above them angels with the instruments of suffering. The finial is a keystone with a lamb of God. On the south wall, the archangel Michael can be seen below the apostle Matthias. The mural on the outer wall shows Christ on the Mount of Olives.
Tip: There is a lamp to the left of the door in the interior, be sure to switch it on and enjoy the frescoes in their full colourful splendour!
