history
The place name Kipshoven can probably be traced back to the Franconian names Kippo and Kippiko, which were in use around 800. In the village there is a Gothic Holy Cross Chapel, the construction of which - according to the inscription - dates back to 1492 and is likely to be seen in a direct connection with the former Kipshoven Castle. The two noble families von Beeck and von Agris are connected to the place and the castle; the last family name also gave the street in town its name.
