The Ortskapelle hl. Rosalia stands in the small village of Untermixnitz in Lower Austria. It is a protected monument under state care. The chapel was founded in the 15th century by Johann von Fladnitz, who arranged a mass endowment in Vienna in 1445.

The chapel changed hands several times through the centuries. A 1544 report noted it had no priest for five years. In 1645 it was turned into a secular building. After repairs in 1749 it was rededicated to Saint Rosalia. Later it moved from Pulkau parish to Waitzendorf, then to Obermixnitz under Wilhering Abbey during the 18th century reforms.

The building is a simple baroque chapel with a round apse and a three-storey west tower. The tower has string courses and round-arched sound windows. Inside and out, the chapel was renovated in 1970 and 1974. The 1816 renovation altered its original baroque appearance.
