On the southwestern part of the ring wall stands the Brilon Peace Chapel (also called Borberg or Marienkapelle) on cliffs above the Gierskoppbach valley at an altitude of 600 m[1]. The chapel, built in 1923 and visible from afar, is the destination of pilgrimages. A small wooden wayside shrine of Saint Anthony the Great (popularly called Fickeltünnes) is kept in it; it originally stood at the foot of a mighty spruce and bears the year 1618. The Borberg peace meeting took place in and around the chapel in 1931.

The view extends over the entire valley basin, in which the large city of Olsberg extends. A fascinating sight!
