    The beautiful chapel in Kemphausen was a real feast for the eyes on our bike tour around Lake Dümmer.

    The Kophanke Chapel in the Kemphausen district of Damme has been carefully restored to protect its structural integrity. Particular emphasis was placed on preserving the wood carvings.

    The chapel is the nucleus of the Benedictines in Damme. In 1962, Maria Kophanke asked the monks at Münsterschwarzach Abbey to take over her business and promote missionary vocations. So, in 1966, the monks moved to Damme to establish a boys' boarding school for missionary vocations at the school center.

    The order ran the farm until 1984.
