Barbarakapelle, Medieval chapel ruins in Langensteinbach, Germany
The Barbarakapelle stands on a hill south of Langensteinbach, featuring remaining stone walls and a restored tower offering panoramic views of Karlsbad.
Constructed around 1330 by Herrenalb monastery monks, the chapel became a pilgrimage site in the 15th century due to a Saint Barbara representation.
Regional markets occurred multiple times annually near the chapel from the pilgrimage period until 1816, gathering local communities for trade and celebrations.
The chapel tower remains open daily as an observation point, accessible through a stone spiral staircase installed during renovations in 1966.
Napoleon's troops removed the last lead plates from the tower roof in 1796 during the First Coalition War to manufacture bullets.
