Gorleben Chapel
The chapel in Gorleben is the local Protestant church. The chapel is part of the municipality of parish Trebel in the church district Lüchow-Dannenberg . It was built in the middle of the 17th century as a branch of the church in Trebel on the northeastern edge of the village. Due to its exposed location on the highest point of the site, it served the residents as a refuge when the Elbe flooded .
