Wernerkapelle

A beautiful historical landmark. Unfortunately it was closed when I visited it, so there was no access inside. It has a wonderful view to Rhine and the city. It's a bit hard to find a way there because the road is really tiny but it is worth a visit.

Came here today on a hot August Thursday afternoon with my three kids ages 6, 4, and 2. We parked at the Pakplatz Rheinuter Bacharach (paid though low cost parking with many spots) right near the Marktstrasse / Markturm entrance into the downtown area. We used Google maps to get to the chapel, though once we got to the St Peter Kirch there were signs pointing down the correct path and up the stairs to the chapel, after which point you couldn't miss it. I think it took us less than 10 minutes walking at my 4yo's slow pace to get from the lot to the chapel. Once there, we were able to walk around the front exterior of the chapel, but were not able to get inside, though it was easy to see through the fence/gate. The views from the terrace in front of the chapel area amazing. I toyed with the idea of going on up to the castle / youth hostel 5 minutes further up the path but it was too hot and late in the day for my young kids. We ended up going down the stairs and getting ice cream at Eiscafe, then going to the Spielplatz am Rhein near the parking lot (a playground with a great view!).

The chapel itself is absolutely stunning. It seemed set up for a concert, which I imagine would be amazing to see, especially at sunset or during the night hours. I absolutely recommend seeing this if you're in the area. I'd love if we had been allowed to walk through the interior, but the exterior itself was enough to make the 1hr long drive worth it for me. There were very few people there during the 15 minutes we were there. The path was largely shaded once we left the parking lot, at least in the late afternoon. We passed toilet facilites on the way from the parking lot to the Marktum; they were below ground via stairs. Edited a few weeks later to add photos from a second visit during evening hours! (Gate was still open even though Google Maps said it was closed)

What a great landmark in Bacharach. The Chappell is left in ruins, but it's still so amazing to look at. The Chappell has a dark history behind it.

Extremely beautiful place! Amazing views, haunted feelings. Fully recommended.

This is located atop the hill with a short flight of 99 steps. This was once a popular pilgrimage, as a stop-over for the pilgrims heading to Camino de Santiago in Spain. However during the 9 years war, in 1689, the bomb meant to destroy Castle Stahleck fell here and destroyed the church. All that's left here now are the ruins.

Beautiful old chapel ruins. It's a nice hike to the top. With great views.

Short little hike, beautiful views over the center of town. Interesting landmark.

What's not to like about it? Cool ruins of a church that still seems to be in pretty good shape. Definitely wish that I could have gone more into the structure, but I enjoyed seeing the architecture of the windows and walls.

You can access it a variety of ways, but we found a set of stairs next to the current church that led up to it (and you can keep following the path higher if you like).

A elegant window into the art of the past. One of my favourite ruins in Germany. Inspired Goethe, JMWTurner, Victor Hugo and others.

On photos it looks bigger. Anyhow unusual beauty. Even ruins rebuild between 1986-1991 are still making this gothic church worth seeing. Other attractions in this place makes it must see place.

It was interesting with a nice view of Rine River

Go at night when it is illuminated. We then walked up to the castle by lighted path. Very romantic.

Get ready to walk some stairs to get here! Great views of the town and the Rhine. Well worth the effort.

Beautiful

Must stop point great view

Nice location

It's beautiful.

Так як я люблю все, що знаходиться вгорі, то мені сподобалося... Для нетренованих, можливо, буде трохи важко йти по сходах, але воно того варте- чудова пам'ятка.

Für Romantiker. Heine fand sie super. Schade, dass man nicht in die Ruine kann. Aber der Platz zwischen Ruine und Rhein ist schön und hat eine tolle Aussicht. Interessanter Hinweis auf "Werner" und die Judenverfolgung im Mittelalter.

Romantisch klein dorp langs de Rijn. Het is er rustig vertoeven, de wandelingen zijn mooi en je kan er heerlijk fietsen of wandelen langs het water.
