The Marienkapelle in Buchhof near Stein am Kocher , a district of Neuenstadt am Kocher in the district of Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg , was built in 1909/10.

The chapel was donated by Buchhöfer farmers and dedicated to the Assumption of Mary into Heaven . The chapel painted by Anton Glasen was badly damaged in 1945 and restored between 1952 and 1974. From the painting only the painting of the choir area is preserved, the painting originally extended over the choir arch, the walls to the left and right of the choir arch and the side walls of the church. The side walls are now adorned by a 14-part station of the cross.

The choir of the chapel faces north. Access to the chapel is through a door in the south gable side, protected by a canopy. A wooden gallery has been drawn in on the south wall; on the outside of the south facade, an inscription stone indicates the year construction began. The interior of the church is covered by a flat painted wooden ceiling. The chapel has a roof turret and a sacristy is attached to the west .
