The Nörteshausen church is under the patronage of Saint Anthony, his statue dominates the apse. Close observers will notice a small pig next to his figure; the animal is his attribute. In the Rhenish dialect he is therefore called "Ferkes-Tünn", which is made up of the word Ferkel for a young pig and the short form of Antonius. The term may sound disrespectful to non-Rhinelanders, but it is by no means meant that way.

At this point, after a climb, you'll find a picnic bench, and directly behind it is St. Anthony's Chapel, which is open during the day. There are also benches next to the chapel.
