In Menden in Sauerland, on a hill between Schwitten and Lahrbach, there is a chapel that was built around 1892. It was restored in 1954. In it stands the "Mother of God of Lahr", a standing figure made of sandstone.

A wayside shrine was first erected on the hill between Schwitten and the Lahrbach in 1892. The Lahr Chapel—in its current form—was built or restored in 1954.
