St.-Veits-Kapelle im Isteiner Klotzen, Medieval chapel on Isteiner Klotzen rock formation, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The St.-Veits-Kapelle sits within a niche of the steep rock face, featuring traditional religious architecture and regional building techniques.

Originally constructed in the 12th century as one of two chapel buildings for Burg Istein castle, the structure underwent reconstruction after 1650.

The chapel, dedicated to Saint Vitus, represents medieval Christian traditions and continues to serve as a place for religious ceremonies.

Walking trails lead visitors through the Isteiner Klotzen nature reserve to reach the chapel, which requires proper walking shoes and weather preparation.

French occupying forces damaged the chapel during mountain fortification demolition between 1947 and 1950, leading to community-driven restoration in 1988.
