The ecumenical chapel Trips is located in the in the city of Geilenkirchen situated castle trips .

The prayer room called the chapel was set up in 2003 with the conversion of the castle to the nursing home by the Franziskusheim gGmbH and is for worship of Roman Catholic and Protestant denomination used. The room is located on the top floor of one of the two bailey next to the so-called castle hall. The walls are provided with a slight slope due to the roof. A small altar , a sculpture of the Holy Family, a Madonna and Child and an Easter candle are part of the furnishings of the room.

On a neighboring wing there is a roof turret over a gate passage . This also serves as a bell cage , in which there were once two bells , which were probably lost in the Second World War . The current owners of the facility, Maria and Franz Davids, commissioned the master bell founder Simon Laudy from Groningen to manufacture a new bell. He made the offer, which is unusual today, not to cast the bell in his workshop, but on site. On October 20, 2012, the bell was cast in the castle park in the presence of many residents and spectators. The cathedral capitular provost Albert Honings gave the bell casting the church blessing. The bell now strikes on the note c '' 'or c3.
