St. Jost, Gothic chapel in Weidenhausen, Germany
The rectangular St. Jost chapel features broken sandstone walls, ribbed vaults, wooden ceilings, and a shingled gable roof in Gothic architectural style.
Built in 1310, the chapel initially served as a sanctuary for women with leprosy and other infectious diseases, managed by a brotherhood from Marburg Barefoot Monastery.
The interior combines Gothic elements with Renaissance and Baroque influences, including a 1606 gallery and an altar cross created by artist Helmut Uhrig.
Every Saturday at 17:00, the chapel holds services for residents of Weidenhausen, Ortenberg, and Marburg, with the bell rung manually from inside.
The chapel stands near a former pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and maintains its original 14th-century wooden beams in the Gothic choir area.
