    From 1730 a chapel dedicated to Maria Aegyptiaca was built in the Falkenlustbusch in the immediate vicinity of the Falkenlust hunting lodge, which was designed by Peter Laporterie in the form of an astonishing hermit grotto with shells, minerals and crystals.

      It is worth taking a look inside the locked chapel, the elaborate mosaic on the floor is currently being restored.

          Small chapel at the grave of the "Gieslers".

            Beautiful chapel, especially inside. Unfortunately, you can only look in from the outside (February 2022)

                    This chapel is the hammer. Especially since a lot was worked with shells. Must see.

                          The interior of the chapel is decorated with stones, glass, conch shells, snails and much more. The chapel is mostly closed, but you can look at the beautiful interior through the windows.
