Vreschen-Bokel chapel
The chapel in the district of Vreschen-Bokel in the parish of Apen in the Lower Saxony district of Ammerland belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Apen, which it regularly uses for Sunday services. The free-standing bell tower, which was built in 1858 to replace a wooden tower from 1718, also serves as the gatehouse of the associated cemetery.
The Gothic brick chapel was built in 1456, but fell into disrepair in the 16th century. From 1623 it was restored and got bigger windows. Large parts of the outermost brick layer have been renewed, as has the interior, which largely dates from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The organ has been available since 1956.
