Kapelle Sophienhof, Church building in Schellhorn, Germany.
The Kapelle Sophienhof features Byzantine round arch architecture with three open arcade arches at the entrance and a dome above the central structure.
Built in 1873 by architect Heinrich Carl Scheel for merchant Nikolaus Johanssen, the chapel design drew inspiration from Russian churches in the Baltic region.
The church incorporates biblical inscriptions including 'Glory to God in the highest' and 'For the wanderer to rest' above its entrance arcade.
The Lutheran Church community of Preetz and Kiel Mennonites hold monthly services in the chapel, which stands along the Schusteracht hiking trail.
The central structure contains a cloverleaf choir design with a marble-based baptismal angel created specifically by Eduard Lürssen.
