Kapellenkirche, Gothic church in Rottweil, Germany.

The Kapellenkirche features a 70-meter-high tower with an eight-sided spire and displays numerous stone sculptures across its exterior walls.

Construction of the chapel tower began in 1330 when local merchants funded the project, with additional expansions continuing through the 15th century.

The church contains an extensive collection of 14th-century stone sculptures, including three large tympana and 27 freestanding figures depicting biblical narratives.

The church functions as a secondary place of worship for the Münster parish of Holy Cross and serves as a seminary church in Rottweil.

The tower's decorative elements include medieval representations of human temperaments created by local artists from different time periods.
