The current baroque chapel is 17th century. The first chapel that stood here was built before 1187 by the then lord of Wellen who took part in a crusade. She was dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows in 1423. Striking in the interior is a polychrome statue of Our Lady from 1423. In the 18th century there was also a hermitage here. It was demolished after the death of the last hermit in 1894. Hundreds of people from surrounding villages still come to this chapel on May 1.
