The name "Linde zur schiefen Kapelle" (lime tree to the leaning chapel) comes from the fact that the chapel standing next to the 250-year-old lime tree was dug up on one side due to the ever-growing roots. The lime tree is a natural monument and can be reached via the Reuterhügel estate road. The trunk circumference is around 400 cm, the crown diameter 11 m and the height around 22 m. In 2002, the Bad Mühllacken fire department freed the lime tree from dry branches and mistletoe as part of an exercise using a lifting platform. The chapel used to belong to Oberpenninger, Wolkerstorfer, now Rammerstorfer, and was sold to the house at Reuterhügel 6, the former "Abbdeckerhaus", where a carcass recycler plied his trade until after the Second World War. During a visitation to Lacken, Bishop Maximilian Aichern also visited the Leaning Chapel. He was very impressed by it, its surroundings and the magnificent view. The mighty lime tree was felled in 2013 and replaced by a new one in 2014 by the market town of Feldkirchen.
