Very neat little chapel

On the site of the lake pond, which was created by the sovereign for fish farming, there was once a village and later a rural rebel army camp. Whether the remains of the late medieval chapel are connected to the disappeared village is likely, but cannot be proven. After the turmoil of the 30 Years' War and the Reformation period, it was left to decay. A T-shaped piece of wall has been preserved. In front of the remains of the wall, between two symbolic trees, there is an older wayside shrine and a memorial cross from the 18th century made of stored lime marble with a well-preserved angel's head on the inscribed base and a folksy, rough body. On the back is St. George pictured. The wayside shrine, cross and trees are surrounded by a wall.
