    The Rengg Chapel is located above Hergiswil on the historic route over the Rengg Pass. It was likely built before 1784 and has been renovated several times since. The small chapel dedicated to Mary serves as a contemplative resting place for hikers. Its simple architecture and tranquil location lend the place a special, historic atmosphere.

      The pretty Rengg Chapel is located not far from the ascent or descent to the Renggpass and is a quiet, contemplative place. From here you have a great view.

        The simple chapel was PROBABLY built BEFORE 1784 in the southern part of the municipality of Hergiswil, at the Renggpass crossing. It is dedicated to Mary, Mother of Sorrows. The donor and builder of the gem are not known.
