St. Achatius Kapelle, Romanesque church in Grünsfeldhausen, Germany.

The St. Achatius Chapel features two octagonal structures with regular ashlar masonry and multiple round-arched windows illuminating its main chamber and choir.

Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries, the chapel stands on foundation remnants suggesting a previous pre-Christian cult site used for baptisms.

The chapel contains stained glass windows from 1972 depicting biblical scenes, including the Passion of Jesus and figures from the Old Testament.

The religious structure belongs to the pastoral unit Grünsfeld-Wittighausen within the Deanery Tauberbischofsheim in the Archdiocese of Freiburg since 2008.

The chapel includes three bronze bells, with the smallest dating to the 15th century, and contains the most compact sacristy in Main-Tauber-Kreis.
