Stoffeler Chapel

The chapel "To the Holy Cross and the Fourteen Holy Helpers" , also Stoffeler chapel is a Baroque chapel in the Düsseldorf district of Bilk . It belongs to the parish of St. Suitbertus and thus to the Catholic parish of St. Bonifatius.

The forerunner of the Stoffeler chapel was a pilgrimage house in which a splinter of the Holy Cross was kept and which was built in 1650 in baroque brick architecture. In 1734, Elector Carl Philipp had the house converted into a small pilgrimage chapel.
