The Klusen Chapel of St. Ägidius was probably built before 1300. The walls are made of Ruhr sandstone and the roof is made of slate. Two Gothic colored glass windows are installed on the south side. The Klusen Chapel's namesake, St. Giles, was considered the patron saint against infectious diseases. It is assumed that at the beginning the chapel served as a place of protection for a woman suffering from leprosy.
