The work was originally Although the Valduna- chapel created in Rankweil is, however, due to its quality and dimension, in particular for the long stay in the public space Montafon. The round of art-historical attractions of the valley would experience by placing the plant in the church Tschaggunser a significant enrichment. Apply today the churches on Kristberg in Bartholomäberg and in St. Gallen church to regional characteristics, it would have to be listed in future Tschagguns in this series. The work engages Bertle way unconsciously a motif on the Tschaggunser church, Bertl's preference for the Middle Ages and the Church as a Tschaggunser Church covered with medieval roots.
