    A Franconian Lourdes

    The Käppele on the Zeiler Kapellenberg is often referred to as the "Franconian Lourdes": The pilgrimage chapel was not only designed in the style of French cathedrals - the pilgrim can even find a miniature replica of the Lourdes grotto here, which is visited by huge streams of pilgrims every year.


    The grotto, designed in the style of French Lourdes, and the monumental mountain chapel were built in 1883 and 1897 respectively on the initiative of Pastor Karl-Josef Link. Since then, the place has been a frequently and regularly visited place of pilgrimage in the east of the Franconian Marienweg. In addition, the Zeiler Käppele is a special place of prayer for spiritual professions.

      However, the actual goal of the people is not the miraculous image, but the Lourdes grotto,” says Stephan Schwab, who, as pastor of Zeil, has been responsible for the pilgrimage to the Käppele since July 2006.
