Hiking

The church in Langenseifen is due to its special design and its elevated location a well recognizable, distinctive point and great for orientation.

Hiking

Can be seen from afar, but can hardly be identified as a place of worship. A closer look reveals this architecturally special chapel, which offers a welcome contrast to the surroundings. If you are lucky, you can even take a look inside.

Hiking

The architectural style of the Langenseifen Chapel, designed by the Construction Department of the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau (EKHN), is unusual and probably unique in Germany. At the same time, it follows the natural environment in which the chapel stands. The special dome shape of the building traces the slope and envelops the altar stone like a cloak. The special dome shape of the building was planned as a wooden structure and realized with a supporting structure made of bent glued wood trusses. Only local, untreated wood was used for the construction.
