Landmarks
  • Chapel of Betbur
Constructed in the twelfth century, the chapel was originally the parish church of Betbur. Betbur was destroyed during or before the German Peasants' War, and a new village was constructed nearby on the site of what is now known as Kleingœft. The chapel retained its role as a parish church, now being the parish church of Kleingœft, its cemetery being the Kleingœft village cemetery. Later a new larger church was built in the centre of Kleingœft, but the Chapel of Betbur is still open and can be visited: occasionally religious services are still celebrated in it.
gollark: > you disagree with any moderation except illegal content?By *platforms*, pretty much.
gollark: I think that communities should generally *aim* for as-free-as-reasonably-practical speech, and *platforms* should be generally also as non-restrictive as legal.
gollark: Freedom of speech, whatever, meh.
gollark: Well, yes, they select for two groups: people who genuinely care about freedom and all that, and people who are just really terrible.
gollark: Weird thing to spoiler, especially since everyone opens spoilers anyway.
