Allerheiligenbergkapelle, Gothic Revival chapel on hill in Lahnstein, Germany
Description
The Allerheiligenbergkapelle is a Gothic Revival chapel on a hillside near Lahnstein that rises 170 meters (560 feet) and overlooks the Rhine and Lahn valleys. The building features a distinctive choir tower with pointed arches and decorative elements typical of the Gothic style.
History
The chapel was built between 1895 and 1901 under architect Max Meckel's direction. It was created as a memorial for soldiers who died during the conflict of 1870 to 1871.
Culture
The name refers to All Saints, a significant day in Catholic tradition and devotion. The interior creates a solemn atmosphere through its neo-Gothic forms, inviting visitors to pause and reflect.
Practical
Visitors reach the chapel through a 1.2 kilometer (0.75 mile) pilgrimage path marked with several small chapels along the route. The path climbs steeply uphill, so appropriate footwear and extra time are recommended.
Did you know?
A hidden grotto beneath the chapel houses a Holy Sepulcher crafted with remarkable skill by sculptor Caspar Weis. The Schmidt family financed this underground artwork as part of their religious devotion.
