Propylaeum

The Michaelskapelle is located at the edge of the late medieval small town of Gammertingen. It is a remnant of an aristocratic seat of the 10th-12th century, whose roots go back to the Merovingian period. The interdisciplinary analysis of the archaeological excavations in the chapel offers an unusually dense insight into the origin and development of a medieval dynastic seat and at the same time an indication of the role that local tradition may have played in the early days of aristocratic genesis.
