    Chapel with a beautiful view of Gengenbach and the Kinzig valley!

      A pilgrimage chapel dedicated to St. James was consecrated. For a long time, the chapel was a station on the great pilgrimages to Spain.

        The pilgrimage chapel, which was dedicated to St. James, is another landmark of the town of Gengenbach.
        On this hilltop with a wide view of the Rhine plain, there was a Roman place of worship, as is evident from many coin finds. For a long time, the chapel was a stop on the great pilgrimages to Spain on the Way of St. James. The current building dates from 1681. A special feature is the stone outer pulpit and the adjacent Holy Sepulchre Chapel. The seven paintings donated by Ruth Schaumann, the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, are recent.
