Magdalene Chapel Amöneburg

The Lindau Chapel in Amöneburg brings the believers from many places in the surrounding area together - e.g. during the pilgrimages on the occasion of the Magdalene Octave in July - and can therefore be seen as a unifying symbol for the pastoral association of St. Bonifatius.

In 1343, a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene was built above the now-defunct village of Lindau. This is why the chapel is also called the "Lindau Chapel." The destruction of the chapel in the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) did not stop people from continuing the annual processions that had been customary for centuries - now to the ruins of the chapel. Over 200 years later, in 1866, the broken walls were torn down and the current chapel was built in 1868. Information board on the outer wall. Suitable as a starting point for hikes, but there is little parking.

The chapel exudes calm and contemplation and makes this place something special
