The catholic chapel St. Wolfgang and Wendelin (also called Wendelinskapelle ) is located in the north of the city of Bobingen in Bavaria . It was built in the 16th century and is registered as an architectural monument in the Bavarian list of monuments.

history

The chapel , originally built around 1520 in Gothic style, was redesigned in Baroque style in 1673 . In 1937 the baroque high altar that had existed until then was sold to the community of Scherstetten and replaced by a neo-baroque winged altar by Hans Schorer . Since then, the appearance corresponds to the time when the chapel was built.

In 2014, under the direction of the Schwabmünchen architect Christian Bosse, a static securing was carried out because the belated belfry pressed on the roof of the chapel and the wooden gallery. The altarpiece of the former high altar is located next to the pulpit in the parish church of St. Felizitas in Bobingen.
