history
Originated in the 18th century

The plasterer and master builder Franz Joseph Vogel worked for the St. Blasien monastery , among others , from where he received the order in 1724 for the renovation and stucco work for Bonndorf Castle, for which he designed a model. He designed the palace chapel, which was built from red sandstone in 1726/27 and was called both the Nikolaus and Blasius chapels.
The castle chapel and the former Liebfrauenkapelle (built in 1659, burned down on April 23, 1810) were consecrated in 1727 by the auxiliary bishop of Konstanz, Franz Johann Anton von Syrgenstein . The Liebfrauenkapelle served as a burial place for the Pauline monastery in Bonndorf , where Stanislaus Wülberz was once buried.
Relocation in the 19th century

The chapel was moved into today's city garden at the Black Forest Hotel in 1816, according to the plaque attached to it not until 1820. When moving the chapel, the ceiling frescoes by Franz Joseph Spiegler were destroyed. Today's Stadtgarten served as a cemetery after it was moved from the Pauline monastery to there in 1807 . The chapel should therefore have taken on the role of a cemetery chapel . However, the soil conditions of the place turned out to be very unfavorable for a cemetery, as this significantly slowed down the decomposition process. The district office therefore rejected a planned expansion, as the cemetery was supposed to be outside the village, which had meanwhile grown close to the cemetery. In addition, a high number of typhoid diseases were associated with the cemetery. After the monastery and parish church in today's Martinsgarten burned down in 1842 and the new church of St. Peter and Paul above the town was completed in 1850 , a new cemetery was laid out in its vicinity in 1855. The space around the shifted castle chapel was therefore no longer used as a burial.
Use in the 20th century
In 1873 the chapel was left to the Protestant community, which founded its own parish in 1934 and used it until the new Protestant Paulus Church was built in 1953.
In preparation for a renovation of the chapel, the altar painting, also by Spiegler, was "disposed of" in 1974 out of ignorance. The picture could still be recovered from the garbage dump, but no longer saved. It showed a man in a blue cloak to whom an angel points to the cross on a white stag in a night vision. Presumably it represented St. Hubertus .
