    The Sint-Rosakapel stands at the highest point of Sittard, at about 90 meters. The chapel is dedicated to Rosa of Lima, City Patroness of Sittard.

    The sign next to the chapel reads:
    In 1669, there was a major dysentery epidemic in Sittard and the surrounding area. Rosa van Lima, the first South American to be beatified, was invoked by the city's residents and, after the epidemic had disappeared, was declared the city's patron saint. In 1675, a chapel was built in her honor on the Kollenberg, to which a procession has been drawn every year since then on the last Sunday in August.

    Nice chapel. It was built 350 years ago because the city of Sittard was 'saved' from the plague. Nice peace of history.
