The Gugging artist Oswald Tschirtner was a deeply religious person who read the Bible every day. The so-called "children's house" at the "Mental Health and Care Facility at Gugging" was originally run by nuns and already had a chapel. However, the soon to be art/brut center gugging had none. 

When Johann Feilacher asked Oswald Tschirtner what he would like to do with this room in the buildings basement. Tschirtner was delighted to turn it into a new chapel. 

In 2001, he painted the walls of the room and created murals. However, the rest of the room was left unfinished.

Finally, in 2024 it was possible for the rest of the room (ceilings, floors etc.) to be restored and redesigned by the association gugging friends. AAn Installation by the Artist birdman- Hans Langner was added to the chapel’s ceiling and vestibule, complimenting Tschirtner’s murals.

Now, the chapel can be used for spiritual events such as weddings or religious events of any kind. 

The use of the chapel is open to all religions.
