Anastasiakapelle, Baroque chapel in Benediktbeuern, Germany

The Anastasia Chapel stands at the northeast corner of the Basilica, featuring ornate rococo decorations and three altars with detailed craftsmanship.

Built between 1751 and 1753, the chapel replaced an earlier 1606 structure to house the relics of Saint Anastasia brought from Verona in 1053.

The main altar presents Saint Anastasia as an intermediary for those experiencing head and nerve conditions, with ceiling frescoes depicting the Trinity.

Following damage from a severe hailstorm in August 2023, the chapel maintains limited access while repairs to the roof and windows continue.

During the Spanish Succession War in 1704, locals attribute the monastery's protection to Saint Anastasia, when strong winds prevented enemy forces.
