Key is deposited on the ledge at the entrance.

The chapel of Nossadunna Immaculada is located on the western edge of the village. The first chapel was built around 1680 about 100 m southwest of the old mill. Its founder, Giachen Antoni da Chaheri, was a shepherd on Alp Seglias when he fell ill with appendicitis. He vowed to have a chapel built in the village when he recovered. In 1893 the chapel was renovated, which at that time was still owned by the descendants of the founder. However, after the chapel had fallen into disrepair, it was taken over by the congregation. With the consent of the bishop, the old chapel was demolished in 1928 and the current building was erected between 1929 and 1930 and consecrated in 1931.

The choir faces west, recessed and closed flat. It is raised by one step and has a barrel ceiling over a simple circumferential stucco cornice. On the brick altar block, supported by two wooden supports on the sides, lies the refectory. On side pedestals are the figure of St. Theresa on the left and St. Roch on the right. The altarpiece depicts Mary with the Infant Jesus.
The nave has a barrel ceiling above the cornice and two round-arched windows on the south side in the same design as the chancel window. On the windowless right wall of the chapel there is an old part of the altar, from the former chapel. Between two fluted columns, St. Roch, Mary and Child and St. Andrew are painted against a light blue background. On the gable roof, covered with copper sheet, there is a hexagonal turret above the choir. Its walls and pointed helmet are also covered with copper sheeting. It has small semicircular sound windows, behind which the hand-drawn bell rings hanging from wooden beams.
