Kapellenruine Arzlohe

The oldest (indirect) evidence of this little church is a note about a church visit by the diocese of Eichstätt in 1480. There a branch church is called "im Paum". According to W. Schwemmer, the name mentioned in 1520, "To the sacred tree", is intended to indicate a pre-Christian place of worship. Other local historians suspect that the single-aisle late Gothic building was created as a plague chapel (several plague waves in the 14th century). 1504 it says "To Paum, a capeln, is called to Sant leonhart".

1508, the chapel - at that time probably already ruin - is mentioned in connection with a murder. In 1733 the chapel in the "Delicae Norimbergensis" is called again. According to records of Pastor Otnets, who worked from 1637 to 1659 in Pommelsbrunn, there was a document (date unknown), after the service was held on six different days before the destruction of the chapel; then probably only to Jacobi. Today, a service is held again on Whitsun Monday, at the Kirchweih and the Waldweihnacht (21st of December - Thomastag).

Very romantic. A place to stop.

A little piece of history. The remaining walls are well preserved.

Also in winter a nice place to rest.

Also in winter a nice place to rest.

It is worth taking a break at the chapel ruins and watching them.

Suitable place for a little breather. Especially when the sun is shining hot, the chapel offers shady spots.

Place of silence
Meditation in the open air

Ruin of a chapel from the 15th century, which points to previous chapels from the 11th century. Imposing mighty lime trees tower over the remains of the wall and mark the place from afar. Every year a church service is held.
