Chapel of St. Rochus
The small single-nave brick chapel has a gable roof from 1747. The inscription on the stone slab on the door "S ROCHE / A 1747 E" means: "Erected for St. Roch in 1747". The foundation stone for an extension of the church in the neo-romantic style took place on October 20, 1921. The small church was expanded to include a transept and a choir designed by the architect Voss (Kevelaer). Inside there is a 156 cm almost life-size colored figure of Saint Roch from the 18th century.

The small brick chapel from 1655 was added to the list of monuments on May 9, 1989 under the number A 55. A capella in Nyll is documented from 1500. The altarpiece, an oil painting by Mathias Boers from 1926, shows Saint Anthony with a pig in front of the Geniel Chapel.
