There are two legends about the origin of the Salzberg Chapel. According to one, a farmer found the image of the Sorrowful Mother of God while ploughing and placed it here. According to another, the provost farmer of Anwalting, Michael Wanner, received the image from a friend from Swabia around 1704 and built a small chapel for it. According to two authentic reports, an unknown person had an accident with his horse before 1694, after which he promised to place an image of the Sorrowful Mother of God at the same place if he was helped. He immediately found himself out of danger and had the promised image made. According to another, the provost farmer Hanns Wanner of Anwalting built a field chapel in 1694 and placed the image of the Mother of God with the Seven Sorrows in it. For safety reasons, figures attributed to the Friedberg sculptors Bartholomäus and Johann Kaspar Öberl had to be moved to the parish church. The current ceiling and altar paintings were created by Franz Kugelmann in 1985. Even today, the chapel is often visited by people who seek peace here, but also by those who turn to Mary in their needs and concerns.
