The St. Vitus cemetery chapel is the remains of the choir of the former parish church . The church was probably built in the first half of the 13th century and was dedicated to St. George . In 1443 the patronage was changed to St. Vitus . At this time structural changes were made, such as the groin vault that is still preserved today . The church was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War and repaired in 1706. In 1831 it was decided to tear down the nave and the tower and build a new building ( St. Georg ). In 1866/67 the interior of the chapel was redesigned. It was restored from 1983 to 1985.
