Take a moment to appreciate this charming Romanesque building, the Klauskapelle. Dating back to the 12th century, it was originally built as a gate chapel. Imagine the miners from Rammelsberg coming here for worship since 1537. It's quite special to stand inside this small chapel. Now, it is part of the Protestant Lutheran community of Frankenberg.
