This "Bettnässerchäppeli", also known locally as the "Bettnässerchäppeli", was built in 1602. It was probably, like a wayside cross, a guide for the route from Sursee to Lucerne.

Hiking

The tiny "Zellkapelle" on the country road from Sursee to Lucerne was probably built in 1602 as a signpost. To this day, people still call it the "Bettnässerchäppeli".

According to the "SurseerWoche", the reason for the somewhat inglorious name lies in the legend that mothers once brought their bed-wetting children here. Whether it had any effect is questionable, however. The striking thing about the small church is that it has neither doors nor windows.
