    Saint Ulrich's Chapel

    August 13 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    The last public room, and old chapel. Here is where you can find the burial place of Emperor Heinrich III's heart. He didn't die here, but his heart was removed from his body and entombed in the walls of the church of Saints Simon and Jude, the one he built down the hill. Thankfully, they took it out before that builder did something with it.

    So like the old joke goes around here, his body is in Speyer, but he left his heart in Goslar. What was left of the chapel, not really over the top impressive, but Henry's heart... The steps in and out were really sketchy, though.
