The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows. Built around 1883, there are benches in front of the church for rest breaks.

The Einthal Chapel, a gem on the banks of the Altmühl River, is more than just a place of worship. It is a living testimony to the history and faith of the people of this region. Built in 1883 by retired workers from the Kastlhof farm, it is closely linked to the history of the surrounding farms. These small private chapels were an expression of the piety and faith of the people who often lived far from the main churches.

The chapel, which has been privately owned by the Greiner family since around 1900, was dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows. Its outward appearance is rather simple, its furnishings a hodgepodge from various eras, from the Baroque to the Rococo. A special feature is the altar, which is about 100 years older than the chapel itself.

Over the years, the chapel has been restored several times. The last major renovation took place in the 1980s. Despite all efforts, the ravages of time are taking their toll on the chapel. The owner, Josef Greiner, is the fourth generation to run the chapel. He strives to preserve the small church and preserve it for future generations.

A secluded place to linger
The peaceful location directly on the Main-Danube Canal makes the chapel a place of peace and relaxation. From here, you can enjoy a picturesque view of Prunn Castle and the surrounding nature. In the shade of the two mighty linden trees, you can unwind and let your thoughts wander.
