The baroque Kappl near Waldsassen is one of the landmarks of the Upper Palatinate Forest. Georg Dientzenhofer built the baroque central building from 1685 to 1689 on the floor plan of a shamrock. It symbolizes the Holy Trinity: three main altars, three large and three small round towers.

The pilgrimage church of the Holy Trinity is Dientzenhofer's masterpiece.
The number three stands for the divine Trinity, for the unity of God, Son and Holy Spirit. The Jesuit order gave the Bavarian master builder Dientzenhofer the order to build a pilgrimage church near Waldsassen, which was supposed to express the Trinity. The mountain has long been a place of pilgrimage and should therefore receive a church, and a very special one. Dientzenhofer had a free hand and made his masterpiece. The foundation stone was laid in 1685. Everything that could be represented accordingly is present three times. So pilgrimage church is one of the most extraordinary churches in Germany. The master builder was no longer allowed to see the completion of his church, because the actual construction work was not begun until 1689. His three brothers, so again the number three, Wolfgang, Christoph and Leonhard took over the supervision of the construction. Unfortunately, the original ceiling frescoes no longer exist, which fell victim to a fire in 1880. They were redesigned by the painter Oskar Martin-Amorbach between 1934 and 1940 with little success.

The Trinity Chapel has a unique floor plan.
It is worth stopping at the Kapplwirt right next door. Otherwise there is only a view!
