Chapel of the Holy Cross

 

The chapel (Heiligkreuzkapelle) was built in 1561 in the late Gothic style to replace an older chapel that was destroyed in the 1560 village fire. The chapel is dedicated to the Holy Cross and the Fourteen Helpers. The classicistic sandstone portal dates from 1787. The pews come from the chapel of St. Magdalene in Steinegg.
