Dreifaltigkeitskapelle, church building in Schwäbisch Gmünd
The Dreifaltigkeitskapelle is a small church building with simple architecture and historical value. The structure features a rectangular floor plan, a gabled roof, and a small wooden bell tower topped with a metal cross.
The chapel was built in the 1680s as a field church at the request of a widow of a prominent townsperson. It originally stood outside the town and served as a burial place for people who could not be interred in the main cemetery.
The chapel is closely tied to Trinity celebrations, an important religious observance for the community. On this day, people gather to honor the Christian Trinity, creating special moments that reflect the bonds between residents.
The chapel sits off the main road at the corner of Am Neugarten and is easy to reach. The straightforward access and quiet location make it a reachable destination for all visitors.
In 1988, a new bell was added to the chapel and mounted outside the tower. The bell is protected from weather by the tower's point and still rings during special community celebrations.
