Germany - Wurmlinger Kapelle

The Wurmlinger Kapelle - officially named Sankt-Remigius-Kapelle - is located on the top of the Kapellenberg (474 m). It is the landmark of the region. In 1050 a Romanesque burial chapel of the founder, Count Anselm von Calw was erected.

A Gothic successor building burned down in 1644. The baroque chapel, which has been preserved until today, was built in 1680 and consecrated in 1685. It still has a Romanesque crypt from the early 12th century. The chapel is accessible from the village of Wurmlingen along a Way of the Cross, which overcomes a height difference of 130 meters.

Around the chapel is a small village cemetery, where one has wonderful views over the village of Wurmlingen and the surrounding landscape.
