The Kluskapelle to St. Lucia is a Catholic chapel in Borchen- Etteln in the Paderborn district . The building, erected in 1677, has been listed as an architectural monument in the Borchen list of monuments since April 8, 1986 .
history
In Etteln there was a chapel in honor of St. Lucia as early as the Middle Ages , which fell into disrepair over time and finally collapsed in 1580. Shepherds then reported eerie voices and Pastor Wippermann saw it as a warning of unfortunate times that the population would face as a result of the neglect of the chapel.
Ferdinand von Fürstenberg was Prince-Bishop of Paderborn from 1661 until his death in 1683 . During the Thirty Years' War numerous churches were destroyed and rebuilt or rebuilt by von Fürstenberg. In 1672 he fell seriously ill with an epidemic that was rampant in the Diocese of Paderborn and made the vow to rebuild the chapel in Etteln in the event of his recovery. He honored his vow in 1677. The maintenance of the chapel was the responsibility of the Bishop of Wünnenberg , who was supposed to pay 18 thalers to the pastor and 7 thalers to the sexton for candles and wine. During the week of prayers in May there was a large procession to the chapel, which is repeated annually to this day. Confirmation was given on October 21, 1681 by Auxiliary Bishop Niels Stensen from Münster.
In 1980 the Kluskapelle was thoroughly renovated.
Architecture and equipment
The chapel is a small plastered building with a gable roof with a polygonal choir closure. The hall construction goes over two window axes and yokes . On the roof above the choir is a hexagonal, copper-clad tower with a roof that is a hybrid of helmet and hood . Buttresses on the outside at the corners and between the arched windows .
The interior is 9.45 m long and 5.70 m wide. There is an inscription in Latin above the entrance portal:
"DOMS

translated
“Ferdinand, by God's grace, Bishop of Paderborn and Coadjutor of Münster, His Majesty Prince, Count von Pyrmont, Baron von Fürstenberg, with the help of St. Lucia, virgin and martyr, patroness of the stone sufferers, recovered from illness, this St. Chapel built according to a vow in 1677. "
There are variations of the prince-bishop's coat of arms above the inscription, in the vaults and on the high altar. A Pietà from the late 17th century mentioned by Körner is no longer in the chapel today.
