    Small chapel along the way
    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.

    This Bernkasteler chapel in is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the nursing father of Jesus Christ. Like Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, he is a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. Joseph was from the house of David, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was a carpenter by trade and the fiancé of the Blessed Mother Mary.
    The feast day of Saint Joseph in the saints calendar is on March 19th, and on May 1st the church celebrates the feast of "Joseph the Worker".
