In Cappel, a chapel was supposedly founded by Charlemagne after a battle against the Saxons. Cappel Abbey was originally a women's convent. In the 16th century, it was converted into a Protestant women's convent. The western wing with its two towers was built in the 12th century. Worth seeing are the baptismal font base, which likely dates back to the time of the monastery's founding, and vault paintings from around 1250.
