Notes
The chapel stands where a path widens among firs. It is small on purpose: a single volume of dark timber on a mossy stone plinth, the roof as steep as the trees.
Inside, the walls are rough-sawn and untreated. A high slit brings weather into the room — sun, mist, the pale of winter. The altar is a block of local sandstone, left as it was found.
No tower, no sign. Those who know the path will find it. Those who do not will walk past a barn that is not a barn.
