The Josefskapelle is a Roman Catholic path chapel in Hardheim in the Neckar-Odenwald district in the north of Baden-Württemberg , which was built in 1718 in the Baroque style.

history

The Hardheim Josefskapelle was built in 1718 and inaugurated on September 8, 1718 by the Bronnbach abbot Joseph Hartmann. With her, the old pilgrimage route to Walldürn and the former route to Amorbach separated . As a souvenir of this there is still a cross at this point. Since 1901, a station path has led from the Hardheim stone mill to the Josefskapelle, which is still used today by many pilgrims who are on foot on their way to Walldürn.

The baroque chapel is located a little away from the village on an ascent of the B 27 in the direction of Höpfingen , right next to a rest area where a more than 400 year old linden tree grows.
