    Beautifully decorated chapel not far from Falkenlust Castle. You should definitely look at it too.

        Chapel of St. Maria Aegyptiaca in the Falkenlustbusch

        Designed like a hermit's grotto with minerals, shells, snail shells and corals, the chapel served Elector and Archbishop Clemens August as a retreat from the regimented courtly world and offered space for religious and philosophical reflection. The inscription above the entrance “,D. O. M. et Mariae Aegyptiacae" (God, the best and highest, and Mary of

        Egypt) indicates a holy hermit who, after a dissolute lifestyle, withdrew into the desert to repent and was thus considered a model of hermitism.

        In the 19th century, the chapel served as a garden pavilion, and the altar bar was replaced by a stone bench. which has been preserved under the altar niche.
