Luzia Chapel (Wesseling)
_(2).jpg)
The Luziakapelle is a Roman Catholic church in Wesseling in the Rhein-Erft district . It is located directly on the dike on the Rhine .
history
The core of the Luzia Chapel dates from the 13th century and belonged to a courtyard, today's Sioniterhof, which before the middle of the 13th century changed hands from the Siegburg Abbey to the Cistercian monastery of Ophoven . As early as 1250, the farm and the chapel came into the possession of the Cologne monastery Sion , where they remained until the secularization at the beginning of the 19th century.
The chapel appears today in the form of baroque reconstruction measures after a fire in the courtyard in 1725. The rectangular floor plan with attached square choir and the tufa brickwork indicate that the church, despite its baroque exterior, still represents the Romanesque chapel. There is a walled-in Romanesque doorway in the south wall. In addition, the chapel has a cellar and a barrel vault made of stone blocks in the basement.
Furnishing
On the east wall there is a simple altar hall with a painting above it. A simple figure in the nave at the transition to the choir.
