Monastery ruins "Mädburg" at Kehrig.
Secluded and well hidden are the extensive remains of an old church. From ancient documentation, it is known that the building is an original Marian chapel, built before 1350, with a pilgrimage church built after 1350, in honor of Saint Luzia.
This cultivation tract was provided after 1700 with a separation wall. Around 1810 the demolition must have taken place.
In a newspaper report dated 01.08.1928 states: "Around 1810, under the rule of the French, the chapel, the rectory and the monastery were sentenced to demolition.
No one wanted to lend a hand to Kehrig, because the chapel was in high honor among his grandparents.
There a certain Polchian man gave himself to it. But he had no luck with the proceeds. The altar came to the St. Wolfgang chapel. The altarpiece depicts the poor souls in purgatory. The little bell came to Berresheim, a statue of Our Lady in the Age Museum in Mayen.
The Trinity Chapel still standing today was built by two countesses of Monreal Castle in gratitude for salvation. Her portraits were earlier in the chapel, but have disappeared.
Until 1950, the chapel was overshadowed by a 350-year-old beech, popularly known as "thick beech". It was under natural preservation and fell victim to a storm that hit the front Eifel and the Maifeld in the night of 4 to 5 July 1950.
