Construction of the St. Nicholas Chapel began in 1695.
The inspiration for the new building came from Prince-Bishop Marquard Sebastian Schenk von Stauffenberg. According to legend, he sought refuge from a storm in the previous chapel. Due to its poor condition, he commissioned the construction of a new one.
Bonaventura Rauscher, who also built the Breitengüßbach parish church of St. Leonhard, was hired as the master builder. On July 22, 1710, the new chapel was consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas.
