    A very nice little chapel, probably built in the 15th century according to Wikipedia. But I'm not sure whether the information on Wikipedia is correct, because according to a plaque next to the chapel, the village and chapel were mentioned for the first time in 1134. The chapel was built of field stones and the original bell tower was made of wood. In 1949 a new bell tower made of field stones was built.

    St. John the Baptist Chapel (Stöcken)

    The outstanding feature of the chapel is the painting of the wooden ceiling with ornamental stripes from 1499. It is a rare and important example of a painted Gothic wooden ceiling. The wooden ceiling consists of planks about 30 centimeters wide.
