There are many moving places in Vermont, and this stone chapel is one of them. Located on the Von Trapp Family Lodge property is a little stone chapel that is not only beautiful but it is filled with whimsical history. Let's take a look at this chapel in Vermont that's located in the most unforgettable setting: The Von Trapp Lodge in the lovely town of Stowe.

The Von Trapp Lodge is internationally famous.

This is where the Von Trapps lived after they escaped from Nazi-invaded Europe and moved to America.

The Von Trapps found their way to Stowe Vermont as it reminded them of the mountains of home.

Their story, which later became the inspiration for the Sound of Music, reflects on family tragedies, victories, and the kindness of strangers who soon became friends to this family of refugees.

If you take a short but steep hike up above the hotel....

You'll find the lovely stone chapel.

This chapel was built by Werner von Trapp.

Werner von Trapp was born in Zell am See in Austria in 1915, the fourth child and second son of Captain Georg von Trapp and his first wife, Agathe Whitehead.

Werner studied cello at Salzburg’s Mozarteum in the 1930s, and became proficient on several other instruments.

He also excelled in the art of composing and arranging. He sang tenor with his family’s choir, The Trapp Family Singers, who won great acclaim throughout Europe after their debut in 1935.

Werner joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and served in Europe with the ski troops as part of the 10th Mountain Division.

He swore that if he survived the war he would build a chapel on the property.

Werner Von Trapp built the chapel between 1945-1948 for his safe return from wartime.

After the war, he returned home to the family farm in Stowe, Vermont and resumed touring with the family choir. He married Erika Klambauer in 1948 and had six children.

A promise remembered.

The chapel resides on the property in Stowe near the family cemetery where you can find Werner von Trapp's grave. He swore that if he survived the war he would build this chapel. This is truly a promise remembered.
