On a trip to Oberndorf, Austria, Wally was absolutely taken with the beauty of the original Silent Night Memorial Chapel. He got permission from the city to replicate the chapel here in Frankenmuth. The peaceful chapel grounds feature a life-size nativity scene. Plaques have the lyrics of the hymn “Silent Night” in over 300 languages. As “Silent Night” plays in the background, visitors can meditate in the historic chapel and enjoy the peace of Christmas night.
