The chapel at Klausenbach, better known as the "Swedish Chapel," is the annual destination of the Antlass procession.
Above the entrance door of the little church is the inscription: "Thus far and no further came the Swedish riders – 1643."
During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), the region faced multiple threats of a Swedish invasion. However, the troops never advanced to Klausenbach. Armed riders from the communities of Kirchberg, Brixen, and Westendorf are said to have ridden out together with a priest carrying the Holy Sacrament to confront the Swedes and force them to turn back.
As a thank you for averting this danger, an annual riders' procession to the Klausen Chapel was established.
