The Wendelinus Chapel, which stands on a rocky outcrop on the left-hand side of the River Murg in Weisenbach, is the landmark of the municipality of Weisenbach and a characteristic feature of the village. It is one of the oldest monuments in the district. Its image dominates the landscape for miles around. It was first mentioned in the Eberstein documents in 1404. In 1481, the Wendelinus Chapel became a Catholic parish church with the authorisation of the Speyer vicariate general. For many decades, however, the Wendelinus Chapel was also the centre of Protestant worship. The chapel narrowly escaped demolition in 1779 because it was intended to continue to be used as a funeral chapel. In the following years, the chapel was repeatedly extended and remodelled. A fundamental renovation took place from 1857 to 1863 in the neo-Gothic style. Around 1860, Johann-Belzer added the Belzer Burial Chapel. After further restoration work in 1911 and 1937, the Wendelinus Chapel was completely renovated in 1980 and a blessing hall was added to the south side, which harmonises with the overall complex. Since then, the Wendelinus Chapel has presented itself in its current form.
In 2014, the Wendelinus Chapel in Weisenbach was completely renovated. Thanks to the great support and willingness to donate of Weisenbach citizens, companies and institutions, the Wendelinus Chapel Association was able to collect donations for the renovation of the landmark. The renovated chapel was officially opened on 26 October 2014.
