The Gothic Lake Chapel, with its light Baroque interior, is a beautiful place for a quiet moment. 🤗
It also houses a copy of Tilman Riemenschneider's famous altarpiece of the Twelve Apostles, which was once located in St. Kilian's Church and is now in Heidelberg.

At the chapel, the colorful tower is first of all striking.
The deanery provides more information:
"Consecrated as a Marienkirche around 1402, it was built next to a former lake, therefore a Seekapelle (Chapel of St. Mary) reminiscent of the catholic past.The piece of jewelery is a copy of the Windsheim Twelve Apostles' altar, the original is in Heidelberg."
