Sebastianskapelle, Historic chapel in Ladenburg, Germany.
The Sebastianskapelle stands as a medieval stone chapel featuring Gothic and Baroque architectural elements, with elaborate trompe-l'œil paintings depicting saints and apostles adorning its interior walls.
Originally built as a court chapel for the bishops of Worms, the Sebastianskapelle dates back to at least 1266 with some Carolingian-era structural elements, serving various religious denominations throughout centuries.
The chapel houses historic French war memorials and tombstones from around 1500, while its baroque interior artworks from 1737 showcase regional religious craftsmanship and artistic expression.
Currently closed to the public due to ongoing restoration work addressing structural damage, the chapel requires comprehensive renovation efforts to preserve its historical integrity for future generations.
The building features an 18-register organ built by Andreas Krämer in 1790, which was later moved to St. Gallus Church and extensively restored in 1982.
