The sepulchral chapel

"In the seclusion of the deep tranquility of the forest" – This was the location of the sepulchral chapel of the grand dukes when it was constructed more than a hundred years ago. It remains so to this day. Experience this place and its extraordinary, moving enchantment surrounded by the green expanse of the Hardtwald forest. A special element: Hardtwald forest begins in the center of Karlsruhe, the metropolis of Baden. The sepulchral chapel is just a stroll away from the Marktplatz, the central square of Karlsruhe, yet it is surrounded by woods.
