Schnappenkirche Marquartstein, Baroque church on Schnappenberg, Marquartstein, Germany.

The white tuff stone Schnappenkirche features a distinctive onion tower and stands at an elevation of 1,100 meters in the Bavarian forests.

The construction of the current chapel took place between 1637 and 1640, following the plans of Wolfgang König, the municipal architect of Traunstein.

The church, dedicated to Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg, holds religious services and received papal indulgence from Pope Pius VIII for pilgrims in 1829.

Visitors can reach the church through a 7.6-kilometer hiking trail from Marquartstein, ascending 469 meters through forest paths and managed roads.

A deer once sought refuge in the chapel during a storm and consumed the bell ropes, becoming part of the local narratives.
