Small chapel in a beautiful setting with a view of the village of Geisleden. The current chapel was built as a renovation of a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Traditionally, vow processions take place on Whit Monday.

In the summer of 1850, a devastating cholera epidemic ravaged Geisleden, killing 35 residents in seven weeks. The residents then vowed to renew a Way of the Cross in the southern part of the fields, where the farmer Baltassar Kunze had already erected a seven-station Way of the Cross between 1750 and 1754 to commemorate the seven falls of Jesus.
The substantial donations made it possible to expand it to a 14-station Way of the Cross and also to build a pilgrimage chapel. It commemorates the flood of the century on May 26, 1852, which had devastated the village two years after the cholera epidemic. A vow procession was to lead to the chapel on that day.
A two-row avenue of maple trees was planted to protect the pilgrims to the chapel. Since then, the chapel and the Way of the Cross leading to it have formed a single unit and become a unique feature of the village.

Today's Antonius Chapel was built as a renovation of a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Traditionally, vow processions take place on Whit Monday. The chapel is closely connected to the Stations Way, which was built around 1750, and a unique avenue of sycamore trees.
