St. Oswald, Gothic chapel in Höllental, Germany

The stone structure features a rectangular choir section, wooden tower, and galleries supported by wooden columns within the Black Forest landscape.

The chapel, consecrated in 1148 by Bishop Hermann I of Konstanz, served as a proprietary church for the lords of Falkenstein.

The retable from 1515 displays religious figures including Saint Matthias and Saint Oswald, with scenes of the magi and Mary's Visitation.
