Agathakapelle

The Agathakapelle is a small church building in Oberndorf am Neckar with a rectangular floor plan, pitched roof, and a hexagonal bell tower. Its interior holds a neo-Gothic altar and ceiling paintings that complete the sanctuary.

The chapel was built in 1480 by local farmers but was heavily damaged in 1634 during an invasion. Its reconstruction took place in stages between 1697 and 1715.

The chapel is named after Saint Agatha, whose statue sits on the neo-Gothic altar inside from 1850. The ceiling paintings showing scenes from her life create a sense of devotion that visitors notice when entering the small sanctuary.

The chapel is located at Römlinsdorfer Straße 2 in the Hochmössingen district and is easily reached from the L 413 regional road. The site is straightforward to access, and visitors can explore the chapel and surroundings on foot.

Next to the chapel grows the Käppeles-Linde, a linden tree between 600 and 800 years old. The tree was recognized as a National Heritage Tree in 2020 and is as remarkable as the building itself.
