St. Wolfgang's Chapel dates back to the 15th century and was once a pilgrimage destination. It is idyllically situated west of the town, across the Tauber River, and is still the scene of the traditional Whitsun ride.

The St. Wolfgang Chapel (also Wolfgangskapelle) is a pilgrimage chapel built in the 15th century in Distelhausen, a district of Tauberbischofsheim in the Main-Tauber district of Baden-Württemberg. It belongs to the pastoral care unit Tauberbischofsheim in the deanery of Tauberbischofsheim of the Archdiocese of Freiburg. The Distelhäuser Pfingstritt (also: St.-Wolfgangs-Ritt) has been taking place to the St. Wolfgang Chapel since 1472.

The St. Wolfgang Chapel is designated as a cycling church due to its location on the Taubertalradweg (Tauber Valley Cycle Path).
