Stromberg Chapel
The Stromberg chapel is in the municipality of Windeck , Stromberg district and was a Protestant chapel. It was built in 1886 on the site of a ruined chapel. On 13 October 2019, the chapel was deconsecrated to enable a sale of the chapel and the adjacent community center.
The single-nave brick building has a slate gable roof with a bell tower. The chapel is 9 meters long and 7.25 meters wide and has 80 seats. The roof turret was replaced in 1912. In 1979 the brick building was whitewashed and given a small organ. Altar and a standing desk were also renewed.
The bell from 1766 weighs 84 kilograms. It bears the inscription “In 1766 this little bell is in the name of Jesus at the time of Pastor Johann Heinrich Anton Ungewitter and the jury Panthalon Volmar and all Evangelical Lutherans in Stromberg renovated by Michael Stocky from Sarburg, bell founder” and still comes from the old chapel. From 1845 lessons were also held here, and in 1882 it was closed due to dilapidation. But already in 1879 the Herchen church had been collected for a new building.
Since 1982 there has also been a single-storey parish hall of the responsible Protestant parish in Herchen on the chapel's property .
The chapel is registered as number A35 in the list of architectural monuments in Windeck .
