Frauenbergkapelle, Baroque chapel on Frauenberg hill, Eichstätt, Germany.
The Frauenbergkapelle features a rectangular central space with rounded corners, double dome structure, and arched windows on the north and south sides.
Prince Bishop Johann Anton I commissioned a Madonna statue in 1720, which led to the construction of the current chapel between 1738 and 1739.
The interior displays decorative stucco work by Franz Xaver Horneis, with coats of arms and chronograms referencing the founding bishops from 1720 to 1739.
The chapel, located 500 meters above Eichstätt, connects to the Way of St. James pilgrimage route leading to Kaisheim and Donauwörth.
A carved Madonna statue inside the chapel originated from a dried wood stump that reportedly produced fresh leaves at the Willibaldsburg joinery entrance.
