The St. Michaelskapelle was built by the Teutonic Order in 1268 (before the church of St. Elisabeth in 1283) and served as a cemetery and pilgrim chapel for the Elisabeth Hospital and the Teutonic Order. In the surrounding cemetery, among other things, dead pilgrims were buried. Today, there is a small park with tombstones from the 16th to the 18th century.
