Guided Story
In front of you is the Obergorbitzer Chapel, a striking example of Protestant architecture from the late 19th century. Built between 1876 and 1880, it initially served as a deacon training institute. By 1913, it became the parish church for the Gorbitz community. Notice the simple yet impressive lines of the facade, reflecting a time when functionality and faith were intertwined. As a protected monument, it holds decades of history within its walls. Since its deconsecration in 2010, the chapel remains unused, a silent witness to changing times and community dynamics. If you look southeast, you might catch a glimpse of the Hexenhaus, about 309 meters away.
