This baptismal chapel was probably built in the 9th century and is therefore probably the oldest permanent work created by human hands in the Sonneberg area. It was carved into the red sandstone by monks, with a Latin cross protruding from the visible wall. Today it is located under the house and can only be visited by appointment.

Historical baptismal font in a sandstone cave under the private house. It is essential to ask the tourist information office in good time about the possibility of a visit!
