Autobahnkapelle St. Gallus, Highway chapel on Winterberg near Leutkirch im Allgäu, Germany
The circular chapel stands at 745 meters elevation with a star-shaped wooden roof supported by eight columns above a plastered wall ring.
The chapel opened in July 2000 after two years of construction, initiated by the Galluskapelle Winterberg Support Association established in 1997.
The chapel commemorates the Irish monks who spread Christianity throughout the Allgäu region between the sixth and eighth centuries.
Visitors can reach the chapel from the Winterberg rest area on the A96 motorway, with daily access from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM throughout the year.
The interior features a granite altar block from Ireland and bronze sculptures depicting regional saints Gallus, Magnus, and Columban outside the building.
