Högerkapelle, Baroque castle chapel in Anzing, Germany
The Högerkapelle is a small baroque chapel in Anzing that features a slender, segmented tower on its facade. Inside, the square interior is decorated with ceiling paintings that show religious scenes and moral lessons.
The chapel was built in 1692 by Anton Benno Höger and his wife Maria Katharina, then consecrated by the Prince Bishop. Its construction reflects the personal faith that wealthy families expressed through private chapels during the baroque period.
The name recalls the Höger family who commissioned it as a personal place of worship. Today visitors can see how the frescoes on the ceiling show religious and moral teachings.
The chapel is located in Anzing and is easy to spot from outside thanks to its distinctive tower. Visitors should keep in mind that this is a private site, so opening hours may be limited.
Inside the chapel are holy stairs designed to replicate the famous Scala Santa in Rome, creating a pilgrimage experience in miniature. This feature allowed the faithful to perform acts of devotion without traveling to Italy.
