The chapel is one of the oldest sacred buildings still in use in this region. It dates from the 12th century and was built within the walls of the outer bailey of Burg Nordeck. If you have the chance, feel free to take a look inside the chapel. It is beautiful in its simplicity.

The east-facing hall building on a rectangular floor plan is made of basalt quarry stone masonry with corner ashlars made of lung stone to the north-east of the main castle as an independent structure and south of the northern castle wall. The wall, parts of which are still preserved, originally enclosed part of the village on the southern slope. The dimensions of the chapel correspond to the Roman foot, which indicates that it was built before or around 1100. The chapel is 28 feet wide and the walls 3½ feet thick.
