    The Chapel of Saint Maria Aegyptica was built and consecrated in 1740 in the then highly fashionable style of a hermit's grotto.
    The Elector and Archbishop of Cologne, Clemens August of Bavaria, had the chapel built in the park. It served the prince as a place of retreat.
    In 1952, the dome collapsed. It was rebuilt and renovated using old photographs.

    Beautiful, small and very unusual chapel. Ornaments consist partly of shells. It's worth taking a look!!!
