Bebertal cemetery chapel

At the western extremity of Bebertal is a cemetery chapel built in field stone. A roofed entrance was added in about 1830 by setting back the east wall.

There are two circular Romanesque windows in the south wall. Bebertal cemetery chapel is probably one of the few surviving small 10th century churches. The little rectangular hall was designed in regular layers of red porphyry, grey sandstone and yellow sandstone. The two longitudinal walls are subdivided by a finely structured cornice with plaque and embossment. According to tradition, the church was one of 35 baptismal churches established by Bishop Hildegrim of Halberstadt from the 9th century on and dedicated to St. Stephen.
