It is consecrated in honour of John the Baptist and Saint Leonard.

The altar was created in about 1460. The painter Jakob Mülholzer signed the paintings in 1496.

Virgin Mary’s wedding is represented in the shrine on the left with richly gold-plated and delicate figures.

Ingenious theology ...

... is hidden in the wedding scene as an answer to the question how Jesus could have brothers and sisters: Joseph is shown as an elderly man who has already children when he gets married with Virgin Mary.
