St. Achatius Kapelle, Romanesque church in Grünsfeldhausen, Germany.
St. Achatius Chapel is a Romanesque church in Grünsfeldhausen featuring two octagonal structures built with regular ashlar masonry. Multiple round-arched windows pierce the walls and illuminate the main chamber and choir inside.
The chapel was built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Foundation remains suggest an earlier site that may have served for baptisms before Christianization.
The chapel displays stained glass windows from the 1970s showing biblical scenes including the Passion of Jesus and Old Testament figures. These modern artworks give the medieval interior a contemporary visual expression.
The chapel is visible from outside and accessible on foot, though it sits in a quiet rural location. Visitors should allow time to examine the window details and stonework at a leisurely pace.
Inside are three bronze bells, the smallest dating from the 15th century. What stands out is the remarkably compact sacristy, which ranks among the smallest in the entire region.
