Filialkirche, Chapel in Klausstein, Ahorntal, Germany.
The Klausstein chapel stands on a limestone cliff, rising 60 meters above the Ailsbach valley, featuring Romanesque round-arch windows in its stonework.
Johann Peter Albrecht von Rabenstein restored and furnished the chapel in 1723 after losing his two sons, making it a testament to personal grief.
The chapel's altar, carved by Johann Michael Doser, displays angels holding instruments of Christ's Passion, with Saint Peter positioned above to represent heaven's gates.
Visitors can enter the chapel daily between 9:00 and 17:00, with additional information available through the Evangelical Lutheran Parish Office in Kirchahorn.
The chapel contains a silver bell in its western ridge turret, which rings through a rope system operated from the gallery level.
