St. Hubertus Chapel Winkel

The catholic chapel St. Hubertus is located in Winkel near Marienheide in the Oberbergischen .

Since November 6, 1999 found on a nearby hilltop above the Hofschaft the St. Hubertus - Chapel . Because it is located on the edge of the forest, it was named after the patron saint of hunting and nature. Traditional May services used to be held in a garage on a provisional basis , until one day the idea of ​​creating a chapel of one's own came up. This was then built by the villagers themselves. The construction time was only five months. The property, the field stones, the wrought iron bars, the tower cross with the cock, the bell, the Hubertus fresco and the Madonna were donated or made by individual activists. Former floor slabs from the Marienheider pilgrimage church were also used. A service is held there at least once a year. A support association was founded to maintain the building .
