    Above the front door is written in Latin: "Effigiem Christi cum semper honora" and "Non tamen effigiem sed quem designat adora". Loosely translated: "Always give glory to Christ" and "Do not, however, give it when worship is ordered".

    On the plaque in front of the chapel it is written:
    "Built in 1725 by the Cappenberger provost Engelbert von Ketteler on the 'Hilgenknapp' in honor of the Holy Cross. Inside, a Romanesque crucifix of exceptional beauty and artistic value from the 12th century (Crusades period) and a panel with various medieval votive offerings.”

    On a small hill (“hillige Knapp”) in the Hassel farmstead there is a chapel whose origins little is known. The current building was built by the provost of the Cappenberg monastery, Johann Engelbert von Ketteler, in 1725 in place of an older chapel that was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648).
