St. Wolfgang is a Roman Catholic chapel in Schöneschach , a suburb of the Upper Swabian town of Bad Wörishofen .
history
A chapel already existed on the site in the 16th century. Due to the dilapidation of the building, the St. Catherine's Monastery in Augsburg had the construction carried out again around 1603. In 1804 the chapel was closed and the windows and door frames were destroyed. The chapel was renovated in 1817. On April 24, 1818 it was returned to its old destination. Further renovations took place in 1860 and 1964.
architecture
The chapel in the middle of the hamlet is a rectangular building with two axes and a small arched window. There are throats on the long sides under the flat ceiling. In the west there is an unadorned, whitewashed gallery . To the left of a rectangular door at the western end of the south wall, an oval niche with a protruding holy water font is let into the wall.
A third, walled-up window can be seen on each of the long sides. Round windows walled up to form panels can be seen above all three window axes . There are two more circular apertures on the east side. There is an arched opening in the east gable. On the top of the gable sits a roof turret protruding over two volute brackets connected by an arch . Its basement, with a square floor plan, has deep rectangular panels and a profiled cornice. Rectangular panels are also embedded in the octagonal upper part with two storeys. The upper storey has an arched opening on each of the main sides . A cone-shaped, tile-covered helmet is located above a profiled cornice.

To the west of the chapel is a linden tree that was planted by Jakobsbauer Asmund Müller in 1648 on the occasion of the Peace of Westphalia .
