Orthodox Church
• Valentine Chapel (Valentinskapelle)
Behind the cathedral, at the corner of Hafenbad and Südlicher Münsterplatz, you find a small church, named Valentinskapelle.
The chapel was built in 1461/62. It was donated by a rich Patrician family named Rembold as a burial chapel/mausoleum. Interestingly enough, a wine cellar of the Bebenhausen monastery (from 1290) was used as the tomb.
After the Reformation, fat was sold in the chapel. This is why Ulmers call it “Schmalzhäusle” (little lard house).
Today it is used as a Russian-orthodox church.
