Gotthard Chapel. This neo-Gothic chapel was built in 1851 over a healing spring. The wooden statue of St. Gotthard is probably the oldest depiction of the saint in Lower Bavaria. St. Godehard or Gotthard of Hildesheim (* 960 in Reichersdorf near Niederalteich, Lower Bavaria; † May 5, 1038 in Hildesheim) was Bishop of Hildesheim and is considered one of the most important saints of the Middle Ages. The faithful were impressed by Godehard's mixture of ascetic seriousness and popular cheerfulness. The popular bishop died on May 5, 1038, and in 1131 was the first Old Bavarian to be officially canonized. "Better an abbot in Bavaria than a bishop up there," Godehard (960-1038) is said to have exclaimed in horror when he learned of the imperial decision to appoint him to the bishopric of Hildesheim.

As early as the Middle Ages, there was a wine and later beer tavern on the property next to the busy old main road. The innkeeper of Gammelsdorf is first mentioned in writing in the tax book of 1565. On the Time Trails information board you will find a photo of the "tavern" by Anton Kirchhammer from around 1900, on which you can see the postilion with his stagecoach. The post office in the inn existed from 1899 to 1937.
