The St. Servatius Chapel in Lechenich-Heddinghoven is one of the oldest churches in Erftstadt. Material made from local quarry stone, pebbles, tuff and sandstone was used for the masonry of the building, which dates back to the 12th century. The substructure obviously comes from very different periods, as old Roman material can also be found alongside younger building materials. Parts of matron stones also became visible in the masonry after the plaster was removed.

The small church in the style of a Romanesque hall church has served as a cemetery chapel in the town of Lechenich since the 19th century, but originally belonged to the settlement of Heddinghoven, which was mentioned as early as 1155. The patron saint is St. Servatius, who played an important role as an ice saint for the farmers. The knightly saint St. George, who has also been the patron of St. Servatius since the 17th century, was more likely an identification figure for the noble donors.
