Riedersteinkapelle, Gothic Revival chapel in Tegernsee, Germany.

The Riederstein Chapel stands on a 1207-meter rocky spur, extending 150 meters vertically above the viewing point Galaun with its mountainside inn.

Josef Hupfauer, a castle servant at Tegernsee Castle, constructed the original chapel in 1841, which underwent extensions between 1850 and 1864.

The interior features a Pietà created by Johann Wirth, medallions depicting Mater Dolorosa, and decorative elements made from red Tegernsee marble.

The chapel measures five meters in length and two meters in width, accommodating up to twelve visitors, with six kneeling benches inside.

A Way of the Cross with fourteen folk art relief stations leads to the chapel through more than 500 stone steps.
