architecture
The chapel is located in Genhülsen on Dorfstraße as a small brick building with a three-sided choir closure under a hipped gable roof . The front gable wall is divided by the pointed arched door niche under a framed brick border and the two pilaster strips on the corners of the building . The pilaster strips merge into the sloping eaves . This cornice is supported by brick consoles made of bricks at right angles to the roof slope , which, when inserted into the wall structure, represent a structural detail that has been misinterpreted and executed rather than a structural-constructive function.
At the lateral beginnings and at the top of the sloping roof there is a cross. There is a niche above the door for a statue of the Virgin Mary. The two eaves walls each have two approximately square window openings . The roof is covered with Rhineland tiles, the places and ridges have slate strips (Strackort). The ridge is adorned with a small roof turret with a bell and weathercock, covered with copper sheet . Inside there is a statue of Our Lady (18th century) made of wood on the altar .
