Bergkapelle Ellmeney

The Bergkapelle Ellmeney stands in the hamlet of Ellmeney, within Leutkirch im Allgäu, amid rolling hills and meadows. The chapel dates from 1736 and remains a local landmark. Its half-timbered construction gives this religious building a distinctive appearance within the rural Allgäu setting. Visible wooden framing defines the chapel’s exterior and structure. Inside, simple wooden benches and saint figures create a quiet setting for prayer, reflection, or a pause. Several walking routes pass the chapel on their way. One circular route from Friesenhofen includes the building while showing the surrounding Allgäu landscape. Another route connects Friesenhofen with Heidenkapf summit and a picnic spot. Clear days can bring views across the countryside. Rimpacher Moos also appears among nearby points of interest connected with exploring this area. The chapel itself is a small building. Its simple interior suits the quiet setting. Its historic construction, rural location, and hiking connections bring architecture, landscape, and local religious character together.
