The "Chapel of St. Margaret" in the little village of Epfig now serves as cemetery chapel. The chapel was built in the beginning of the 11th. century, using the common layout of a "Latin Cross". A hundred years later the porch with the arches was added. To the left side of the chapel (not to seen on the photo. Sorry!) is an ossuary, where hundreds of skulls are to be seen behind chicken-wire.
