    This small chapel is located north of Herbstein and was built in 1853/54 in a mix of Swiss house and English Tudor architectural styles. What is striking about this building are the blood-red frames of the niches and the mighty oak beams.

    Every year there is a procession to the chapel on the Sunday after the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross (September 14th). Behind the chapel is the small private cemetery of the Westerholt and Ballestrem families.

    A very beautiful forest chapel. There is a small cemetery at the back.

    The Kreuzkapelle, built in 1853/54, is located in a forest clearing. A beautiful chapel with exposed oak beams and red niches.
    At the top of the gable end, in a niche, you can see St. Boniface.
