    Built by the architect Friedrich Wilhelm Laur 120 years ago, the chapel was also named after the Catholic pastoral unit Empfingen. It was consecrated in 1891 in honor of St. Ulrich and is also very interesting in art history. For example, in the vestibule of the old chapel the old stone Muri coat of arms and on the other side the so-called "stone loaf of bread" is walled up. According to an old legend, it is reported that during an emergency, a Miss von Lichtenstein refused a beggar a piece of bread under the protestation that she herself had only one loaf. Then this loaf should have turned into stone. And according to this old legend, the Fraulein should then have made a foundation, according to which should be distributed annually on Ulrichstag bread to the poor in Neckarhausen.From this foundation, no documents exist. But there is in Neckarhausen a so-called Ulrichswald, which also goes back to a foundation and is now owned by the Catholic parish.
