Bed and chapel with about 350 years old processional cross.
The small chapel is located on the Kirchweg to the former Arnulphuskirche. During the processions, prayers were given for domestic and farm animals

For a long time the Arnulphus Chapel stood high up on the mountain, visible from afar in a barren landscape. It was a place of faith for pilgrims who prayed for the health of their cattle and at the same time parish church for the villages of Walsdorf, Zilsdorf, Loogh, Stroheich and Orendorf. It was consecrated to Saint Arnulphus, the patron saint of millers and brewers. At the beginning of the 19th century the chapel fell into disrepair. Soon all the stones were removed and the bones of the deceased in the cemetery in Walsdorf were reburied. There is now a deep hole at the site of the former church. The mountain has given way to a basalt mine, which nature is now taking back after the work has ended.

The only reminder of the church was a processional cross on the way up. But in 1988 a saint's house was built next to it, again dedicated to Arnulphus, as a place of refuge for prayers and as a reminder of the former parish church.

The relatively young holy house - built in 1988 - is dedicated to Saint Arnulphus. It is reminiscent of a former parish church that had to give way to basalt mining.
To the right of the entrance there is a cross with a body made of red sandstone.

Very well maintained little chapel. You can clearly see that not only hikers and tourists are guests here. Many burning candles indicate that private requests and wishes are often expressed here.

Just at the edge of the forest and only a few hundred meters from the Arnulphusberg / Arensberg is the small chapel which was built as a place of worship for domestic and farm animals

In 1988 this beautiful and lovingly cared for holy house was built on the site where the Arnulphus Church originally stood. The visitor will find a seat nearby that invites them to take a break.
