The colours on the statue and the cracked plaster were created by the last rays of the afternoon sun shining through a stained glass window. The effect only lasted about two minutes.

The building, which has grown over the centuries, combines five stylistic epochs. It includes the remains of a huge castle complex from the beginning of the 13th century and a three-storey half-timbered house from 1480. In the 18th century, the castle was transformed into a representative palace, and in 1756, the connecting building to the church was built (see photo).

The chapel is located on a moraine hill near Vokertshaus. There was probably a small castle on today's chapel hill in the early Middle Ages. In the 12th century, a little church was built instead, to which the choir was added in the 15th century. The tower received its 'onion' attachment in the 18th century.
