Borromeo Chapel
Kapellenweg, 53498 Bad Breisig Rheineck
The district of Rheineck belonged to the lordship of Breisig north of the Vinxtbach stream and to the county of Rheineck south of it. In 1718, a chapel was built, dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo. At the lava framing of the southern entrance with the old wooden door, one can find the year "Anno 1718". Inside, a figure of Saint Barbara serves as a reminder that the "Rheineckers" worked as miners in the iron ore pits on the slope north of the Vinxtbach stream and later in the basalt quarries south of it, whose patroness is Saint Barbara.
