The Nepomuk Chapel in Wels is a venerable example of Baroque architecture and a significant piece of cultural heritage, honoring Saint John of Nepomuk. This saint, venerated as the patron saint of log drivers, reminds us of the deep-rooted tradition of timber transport on the Traun River, which was of great importance to the region. Erected in 1732 by the log drivers' guild, the chapel stands on the south side of the building at Traungasse 12, the former site of the Traun Gate. The special devotion to Saint Nepomuk is evident not only in the weighty statue, donated around 1718 by Gottlieb Nester, but also in the artistic design of the building itself. The restoration in 1964, during which the chapel was rotated 90 degrees, underscores the commitment to preserving this cultural asset and making it accessible to visitors. A visit to the Nepomuk Chapel offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in the history and spirituality of the rafting tradition and to experience the beauty of the Baroque era. May the blessing of Saint John of Nepomuk be upon all flowing waters and their travelers.

Wels is one of Austria's most important railway junctions. The railway bridge is therefore a key component of the north-south and east-west connections. It has been maintained and adapted to modern requirements several times over the years.
