According to legend, three sisters banded together and tried to move to an isolated location to avoid overlords who wanted to abduct them. They chose this part of Switzerland. They led a quiet, pious life. When the last of them died, a spring is said to have with healing properties. Kaltbad translates to "cold bath."
The first chapel on the site was built in 1585, and the spot received a new building about 200 years later. Someone usually stops by every day to pray and light a candle. With a fabulous location overlooking Lake Lucerne, this is a popular spot for weddings. The chapel can hold about 120. A cemetery is nearby.
