Belsener Kapelle, Romanesque church in Belsen, Germany.
The Belsener Kapelle stands on a hill between Mössingen and Belsen, featuring thick walls, rounded arches, and a distinctive choir tower design.
Construction of the church occurred around 1140 on the foundations of an earlier Carolingian chapel, with archaeological findings dating back to the 8th century.
The church contains mysterious stone reliefs on its western gable depicting crosses, human figures, and animal heads, which remain subject to interpretation.
Regular Protestant services take place in this cultural heritage monument, which underwent renovations including a new organ installation in 1964.
Carbon-14 analysis of child skeletal remains found during excavations dates the original religious site between 720 and 880 CE.
