    This small church was built by the Catholic community in 1742 on the spot where the "first" town hall used to stand. Since then it has been the Catholic "Johannes Church", today Marienkapelle. In 1836 it was extended and served the community as a place of worship until 1963. Today it is privately owned

    The Old Catholic Church in Epfenbach looks back on a long and multifaceted history. As early as 1350, the town's first town hall stood on this site, and its council chamber was also used for religious services from 1556 onwards.

    With the construction of St. John's Church in 1742, the site gained its own church, which was expanded in 1836. Since 1963, the building has been known as the Chapel of Our Lady and has been used creatively since 1992 – today it serves as an artist's studio.

    Excellent view of the hilly landscape of the Kraichgau. Sporty demands on the driver due to several small and long climbs. For nature-conscious drivers, we recommend driving cross-country along agricultural paths, far away from usual road traffic.
