history
The Kronenburgerhütte chapel was built in 1734 as a hall church with a choir closed on three sides in the Baroque style. The small church is a foundation of Everhard Lux. The consecration took place in 1745. In 1901 the bell tower was finally added to the west side . In 1976 the chapel was renovated under the direction of Werner Geyer from Mechernich .
Furnishing
Inside there is a presumably baroque high altar . Built into this is a picture of St. Brigida von Kildare from 1950. In addition, there is a brightly painted figure depicting St. Catherine of Alexandria probably from the 17th century, a Pietà and a figure of St. To see Josefs . These two figures are also painted and probably date from around 1900. Four of the five windows were created by the glass painter Rolf Dettmann in 1986 and one window is a work by the artist Margret Kaltwasser from 2000.

The bell with a diameter of 33 cm and a weight of 22 kilograms was cast by Engelbert Fuchs in Cologne in 1737.
