    The chapel was built in 1894 in the neo-Gothic style on the foundations of the castle dungeon. The statue of St. Leo IX stands on the facade and inside are kept relics of Saint Leon.

    Hiking

    Chapel was not accessible during our visit.
    We were able to meet Bruno van Eguisheim on the pleasant square. It is in the center of the fountain's framework. He was made pope in 1049 under the name Leo IX and is better known as the traveling pope. Conciliatory, he traveled through medieval Europe for the restoration of the Church.
    Translated by
    The Chapel of St. Leo IX. is a Roman Catholic chapel.

    It was built from 1888 to 1894 in the neo-Romanesque style and lavishly painted.
    The building, which has been owned by the municipality since 1972, is in its original condition after extensive restoration.
