Chapel of St. Adelheidis
The St. Adelheidis Chapel (also: Adelheidis Chapel ) is located on Adelheidisplatz in the Pützchen-Bechlinghoven district of Bonn . It is a pilgrimage chapel dedicated to Saint Adelheid von Vilich . Today's chapel was built at the Adelheidis fountain in 1769 and is a listed building . The well or the spring enclosed in it has been a pilgrimage destination since the Middle Ages. The chapel building is a small, plastered, single-nave hall church with a low three-sided choir niche , a pressed barrel vault and a ridge turret on the north-west side of the roof facing away from the street.
The current building, which bears the year 1769 in the gable, must be a successor building. A first chapel in the same place has been attested since 1679. This chapel was originally looked after by hermits . In 1688 it was transferred to the Carmelite Order by Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz , then Duke of Jülich and Berg , because of the large increase in pilgrims , who subsequently established a monastery that has since been closed . The chapel is surrounded by the old monastery wall.
