The Käppele was built in 1715 on the site of a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary. The former altarpiece of the chapel, a representation of the coronation of Mary based on the model of the Gößweinsteiner Marienkrönung, is today in the art history collection of the city of Iphofen after the two angels flanking the picture were stolen.

The altarpiece inside the Käppeles is worth seeing and the chapel invites you to linger a while on a hike to the Schwanberg.
