Ulrichskapelle, Medieval chapel in Standorf, Germany.

The Ulrichskapelle is a small chapel in Creglingen featuring an octagonal layout with thick stone walls and rounded arches typical of Romanesque design. The structure displays the solid, straightforward construction methods used in medieval times.

The chapel was first documented in 1429, but its form points to construction in the early 13th century: it matches the octagonal chapels of St. Sigismund in Oberwittighausen and St. Achatius in Grünsfeldhausen and the castle of Brauneck, begun before 1230. Dendrochronology of the oak column inside dates its felling to 1209–1229, so the column predates the chapel by about two hundred years and may come from an earlier building.

The chapel is owned by the Protestant parish of Creglingen and belongs to the Herrgottstal and Rimbachtal parish association, part of the Weikersheim district of the Württemberg Evangelical Church since 2025. The Jakobsweg Main-Taubertal pilgrimage route passes directly by it. Since the 1920s, völkisch authors have linked the site to a pagan sanctuary and read the interior oak column as an Irminsul; art historian Tanja Fischer traces the claim that the Shroud of Turin was kept here to a 1989 book she considers a historical novel. None of these theories has been historically proven.

The chapel sits above Standorf village and can be reached on foot, particularly via the Jakobsweg Main-Taubertal hiking trail. Wear sturdy footwear as the terrain is hilly and can become slippery after rain.

Below the chapel flows the Ulrichsquelle spring, a small spring to which local tradition has long attributed healing properties for eye problems. Though this belief comes from earlier times, it shows how the community saw natural features as connected to the sacred place.
