Poor Sinner's Chapel in Neufelden in the Böhmerwald holiday region.

A place steeped in drama and history.

In this chapel, the delinquents were allowed to offer a last prayer in the presence of a priest before they were led to the nearby Gallows Hill for execution.

The chapel is located on the "Alter Berg" - part of the "Via Regia", which coming from the Danube, crossing today's main road in Neufelden, then running along the current reservoir (Langhalsen) - was an important traffic artery to the north.
