The Gnadenkapelle on Kapellenplatz is the destination of all Kevelaer pilgrims. The “Consolatrix Afflictorum” is located in the hexagonal dome.

As early as 1642, Hendrick Busman placed the picture in a wayside shrine at precisely this point. It has remained unchanged in its place to this day. Today's Chapel of Grace was built around the original wayside shrine in 1654 so that believers can continue to make pilgrimages very close to the picture.

The chapel has a window opening in front of the miraculous image so that people who pass by here can take a look at the image of the mother from outside, and the mother's gaze follows them, the pilgrims, on their way back to everyday life.

Those who confide in Maria will not be forgotten. That's what the builders of the Chapel of Mercy thought, and that's what everyone who comes here trusting, praying or thanking experiences.

The Lower Rhine Kevelaer is a well-known and popular place of pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary. Here the Mother of God is venerated under the title "Comforter of the Afflicted" and called for help in distress. Votive tablets are an expression of thanks for answers to prayer.

There are Kevelaer brotherhoods in a number of places in the Rhineland (from the Cologne-Bonn Bay, in addition to the large cities of Cologne and Bonn, I also know, for example, Meckenheim and Walberberg), they move here on foot pilgrimages lasting several days.
