On the 562 meter high Schwarzenberg, hidden in the forest, there is a chapel dedicated to the painful Mother of God. The Schwarzenberg Chapel was built in 1719. The altar with the Pietà in the middle is framed by Saints Aloisius (right) and Augustine.

Thank you boards and crutches on the walls indicate that the Schwarzenberg Mother of God was called on when she was sick and helped. Next to the chapel is the Heroes Cemetery with the graves of soldiers who perished in Kelberg in World War II, and a little below the memorial for soldiers who died in World War I and II.

Out of gratitude after overcoming the plague, the late Gothic chapel to the "Sorrowful Mother of God" on the Schwarzenberg was expanded as a plastered building in 1719. The year of construction of the chapel is not known. The arched windows with barrel vaults originate from this construction phase. The pilgrimage chapel is a special gem. It is 14 meters long and 6 meters wide.

In the vicinity of the chapel there is a basalt high cross from 1785, which was donated by Johann Joseph Hens from Kelberg, the taker of the Daun office. The path from the foot of the mountain up to the chapel is lined with 14 stations of the cross. They were created in 1864 instead of seven footfalls. Together with the Way of the Cross and the Bittwege, the chapel forms a sacred ensemble that is still widely visited and used today.

Station 2 of the history route "Around the Hochkelberg"

The chapel is not locked so that everyone can pray in peace. Visitors are then allowed to ring the bell.
