The chapel, built entirely of wood, was built in 1929-1930. The then owner of the Pfändealm, Anton Reichart, had made a building vow if his sick wife Anna and their 11th child, Johann Jakob, survived. Later, Theresia was born as the 12th child, named after this Theresienkapelle.

The Pfände towers high above Bregenz. Reachable by the Pfändebahn or on foot, it offers a brilliant view of the wide Lake Constance. At the top station of the cable car there is a wildlife park and several inns.
