The 18th century chapel in the Bernkasteler vineyards was renovated in 1921 under the supervision of the sculptor Paul Simon.
According to oral tradition, the sanctuary was originally intended to honor St. James and only later found its present form as the Joseph sanctuary. A figure of St. Kilian watches over the entrance to the chapel. The two reliefs inside and the figure of Kilian are works by Paul Simon. The statue of St. Joseph inside the chapel is 135 cm tall and made of wood.
