Built around 1578 by the castle owner at the time, Reichhard Streun. At that time the castle was also redesigned into a Renaissance building. The chapel originally belonged to a Meierhof that managed the agriculture of Schloss Schwarzenau. The important Renaissance castle stands around 300 meters south of the chapel. The Meierhof was destroyed shortly before the end of the Second World War. Soldiers from the French Wars are said to have been buried near the chapel.

Small Bridge with Memorial Stone for Fallen Soldiers

Highlight • Bridge

A few soldiers from Emperor Franz Josef's camp are said to have drowned here. It's hard to imagine that the small stream can become so dangerous.

Wooden Bridge Over the Deutsche Thaya

Highlight • Bridge

Here you have the choice: either a bit risky through the ford or rather the safe variant over the bridge. But you can also sit on the bench, enjoy the rest and then decide;).
