Silvesterkapelle, Pre-Romanesque chapel in Goldbach, Germany
The Silvesterkapelle stands outside the fortified old town of Überlingen, featuring a simple architectural design with high Gothic windows on its south wall.
The chapel, constructed around 840 by Alemannic Count Alpger, housed the relics of Saint Marcianus, an early Christian martyr and first bishop of Tortona.
The interior walls display Carolingian and Ottonian frescoes depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ, created by artists from the Reichenau Monastery.
The chapel opens to visitors during summer months on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 11 AM to 5 PM through the Überlingen Tourism Office.
A Latin poem inscription by Reichenau Abbot Walahfried Strabo remains visible on the walls, representing early evidence of the Reichenau school of art.
