Tips

The building is a small half-timbered building with richly carved beams. It has a four-page ending. The roof turret is slated. According to the inscription above the door, the chapel was built in 1703 by the carpenter Mannus Ritessel. This is also where the equipment comes from. However, after looking through the files and documents, the year of construction 1705 is more likely. Two predecessor chapels are occupied. The first was mentioned in 1585 and was replaced by another in 1590, which then fell into disrepair and was demolished in the early 18th century. Today's chapel has a single nave, with an apse pointing towards the east, and there is no recognizable chancel.

The building is an example of the school chapel common in Siegerland, where school and church were united under one roof. A part of the interior was separated by a wall and the resulting room served as a school room. This former school room is located under the rear gallery.

A really great half-timbered chapel. It is, of course and rightly, a listed building and is a great photo opportunity.
