The chapel on the southern edge of the city is a real gem. In 1275, a soul parish Valkenstein was first mentioned in the records of the Diocese of Constance, which belonged to the Lords of Falkenstein and Ramstein in the Middle Ages under the patronage of St. Erasmus as a separate church.

In the choir is a Lamentation of Christ, which dates from around 1515 and is an important work of late Gothic art attributed to the sculptor Conrad Rötlin from the imperial city of Rottweil, who worked especially for Emperor Maximilian I. Nowadays it is considered one of the most beautiful lamentation groups in southern Germany.

The gravestones along the benches are very interesting. The counts of Bissingen and Nippenburg etc. One of the slabs is the commemoration of Count Cayetan, who was born in Venice in 1806 and is buried here.
Addendum 2024: The outside has now been restored!

On my tours around Schramberg, I like to come here to find a few minutes of reflection and peace in front of this beautiful woodcut in the chancel.
