history
The origins of the St. Nicholas and St. Bernard Chapel go back to the 15th century. The choir comes from this time. In 1569 the small church was first mentioned in a visit report. In 1789 the current nave and sacristy were built and the choir arch was then broken through. Another renovation took place in 1816 and the church got its roof turret. From 1993 to 1996 the chapel was extensively renovated and restored both inside and out.

In the east wall of the choir there is a two-part Gothic tracery window . The ribbed vault is supported by narrow services without capitals . The hand of God can be seen in the keystone .
