Attractions
Today's chapel was built in 1888 in neo-Gothic style according to plans from the office of the Cologne diocesan master builder Vincenz Statz , on which his son Franz Statz probably also worked shortly before he took over the architectural office. The small tall three-axis hall church with a slightly drawn-in three-sided closing choir is vaulted with cross ribs. The completely preserved neo-Gothic furnishings are remarkable .
