In sight of the development area Brunnleite near Mühlendorf is located in a southerly direction the Holy Cross Chapel in a clearing at the edge of the forest. Here the "Sieben-Kapellenweg" continues through the Kappelholz to Kreuzschuh. The first chapel was already mentioned in 1528 in a document. In 1976, a new chapel was donated, as the old was largely expired. The Holy Cross Chapel had a special meaning in the past as a local place of pilgrimage. Even hermits lived from 1748 in an annex to the chapel.

A chapel donated in 1976 by a local entrepreneur to replace the largely dilapidated previous chapel.
The first chapel was mentioned in a document as early as 1528.
The 7-Kapellen-Weg (7-Kapellen-Weg), which starts at the Siebenschläferkapelle in Stegaurach, passes here. This is the third chapel on the way. The second chapel is the one in Hartlanden, the fourth the one in Kreuzschuh.

The chapel was consecrated in 1976. Various chapels had stood on this site since the Middle Ages, but they were repeatedly destroyed.
