St. Bartholomew's Church, Berchtesgaden, is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the Berchtesgadener Land district of Bavaria in Germany. Saint Bartholomew the Apostle is the patron of alpine farmers and dairymen.A first chapel at the lake was built in 1134 by the Provosts of Berchtesgaden. In 1697 it was rebuilt in a Baroque style with a floor plan modelled on Salzburg Cathedral, two onion domes and a red domed roof. The king of Bavaria Ludwig II had the then dangerous chapel restored at his own expense, which was then consecrated on 25 July 1868. Near the chapel lies the old hunting lodge of the same name, the building became a favourite hunting lodge of the ruling House of Wittelsbach.-GERMANIA-BAVARIA-Belle Epoque-St. Bartholomä on the Königssee -Saint Bartholomae -Re (lago Koenigssee) con San Bartholomews chiesa e il massiccio del Watzmann Credit: © ARCHIVIO GBB / Archivi Alinari WARNING: Permission must be required for non editorial use.
