history
Today's field chapel represents the remaining remains of the former parish church of Altenweiler, which was restored in the 17th century. The building of the church is dated to the 12th century. The chapel is the rectangular, just closed choir of the parish church. The north-east side dates from the time the parish church was built, the rest was built in the 13th and 14th centuries. In the west side of the chapel, the walled-in triumphal arch to the choir can be seen, in which a smaller round arch portal was inserted.
