    The neo-Gothic Alderikus Chapel marks the spot where the lay brother Alderikus is said to have thrust his staff into the field in the 12th century, causing a spring to emerge. Acting on the instructions of an angel, this saved him from dying of thirst. He is venerated here as a saint, although he was only beatified by the church. The "saint" was and is particularly sought after for eye diseases,
    because as it says above the spring enclosure: "Alderikus spring makes eyes and soul clear and bright!"

      The actual spring is said to be located a little further north of the chapel, and the water is channeled here beneath the fields. A truly peaceful place for encounters and tranquility.
