The White Horse Chapel in Enzelhausen, perched on a small hill overlooking the Abens Valley. It is widely known, however, primarily for its legendary history. The Legend of the White Horse Chapel A white horse supposedly starved to death inside and can still occasionally be heard. There are various stories about how the animal got there. One legend claims that cattle thieves hid the horse there. Because they were caught, the white horse remained in the chapel and starved to death. Another version tells that a hungry white horse followed the trail of grass left by the Corpus Christi procession – and thus ended up in the open church. When the sexton locked the church, he didn't notice the animal. Since St. Stephen's is a branch church, services were rarely held there – before the next one began, the dead horse was discovered in front of the altar. Whether a white horse truly met its end in the Enzelhausen chapel remains unknown. It is believed that the name goes back even further and indicates a more original use.

Where the beautiful Schimmel Chapel now stands, there was once an ancient Germanic cult site. Here, the festival of the horse god Fro was celebrated. The chapel was first mentioned in 1590.
