Culture and sights

St. Wendelin Chapel in Kalkreute

Buildings

  • The St. Wendelin Chapel is located in Kalkreuter Brunnenstrasse, a plastered solid building with a turret, the core of which was 1491, expanded in the 17th century, changed in the 19th century; in the ground plan an elongated rectangle, the eastern part of which is probably medieval, the western extension was built towards the end of the 17th century. The "capell zu Kalckrutin" is mentioned for the first time when the eternal early mass was founded in the parish church in Ostrach in 1490/91.
  • Around 400 meters northwest of the Arnoldsberg farm near Spöck is the site of the high medieval castle Arnoldsberg . From the abandoned castle, only the castle hill remains today.
  • At the end of 2012 the historic Schlösslehof, an estate on the Arnoldsberg whose origins are closely linked to the "Veste Arnoldsberg", was demolished. Behind the property there is a burial mound, which is popularly known as the "megalithic tomb" and which has repeatedly attracted treasure hunters in the past: this is where the tomb of Attila , king of the Huns, was suspected.
