    Small chapel, which is idyllically located behind the "Schloss" Louisenthal on a meadow in the bottom of a valley. Except for two sandstone reliefs, it is empty. You can admire the roof beams and the old wooden doors, which will soon have to be "rescued", otherwise they will be completely broken.

    The chapel, dedicated to St. Walpurgis, was built in 1725. Its foundation stone dates back to April 27, 1724. From 1786 to 1798, it served as the church of an independent Catholic parish, which included the settlements of Schwarzenbach, Schwarzenacker, Einöd, and Ingweiler, as well as Webenheim, Mimbach, Bierbach, Kirkel, Neuhäusel, Eschweilerhof, Abstäberhof, Bliesbergerhof, and Audenkellerhof.

    The castle was largely destroyed by French revolutionary troops in 1793: The central building was demolished in 1802, leaving only the chapel and a side wing of the castle.

    A pretty little chapel. It's empty, but it's still beautiful
