Gorleben Chapel

The small chapel in Gorleben was built in the middle of the 17th century on the northeastern edge of the village. Due to its exposed location on the highest point of the site, it served the residents as a refuge when the Elbe flooded.
A simple hall building was created on a rectangular floor plan, which ends at the top with a gable roof. A structure of half-timbering, which is lined with bricks, forms the outer walls. On the west side there is a ridge turret with a tent roof. Access to the chapel is also via the western side.Parts of the equipment go back to the time of construction. In 1873 the chapel was extensively restored. Half-timbering, interior painting and tower were repaired in 2004.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapelle_Gorleben
