St. Bartholomä is a Catholic pilgrimage church in the Berchtesgaden District of Bavaria. It named for St. Bartholomew (Bartholomäus in German).

The church is located on the western edge of the Königssee (King's Lake) on the peninsula of Hirschau. It can only be reached by ship or after a long hike. The chapel originated in part in the 12th century. Since the 16th century it has been in the baroque style. St. Bartholomew is said to be the protector of alpine farmers and of milkmaids. St. Bartholomä has two onion domes and a red domed roof. The floor plan is based on that of the Salzburg Cathedral. The church features stucco work by the Salzburg artist Josef Schmidt and a three-apse quire. The altars in the apses are consecrated to St. Bartholomew, St. Catherine, and St. James respectively.
Near the chapel lies the old hunting lodge of the same name. The lodge, which was first erected in the 12th century with the church, has been rebuilt multiple times. Until 1803, it was a private residence of the Prince-Provosts of Berchtesgaden; after Berchtesgaden became part of Bavaria, the building became a favorite Wittelsbach hunting lodge; today it is an inn.

Bonjour Kristof
Very precise shot with great colours, but I feel this imposant and beautiful churche crashed against the top, and so don't agree with the POV which cuts the picture in two parts.

Good morning Kristof

It's superb.I really love churchs and chapels.This one is marvelous and the reflection of it in the water is surely nice. Congratulations.
Regards

My visit to your gallery caused this one to catch my eye. Mid morning lighting very well managed - reflection effective even the the water is a major part of the image. Bravo
