chapel

The Chapel of St. Antonius of Padua and Rochus is in the district of Kothausen in Mönchengladbach ( North Rhine-Westphalia ), Kothausen 18.

architecture

The chapel is an 18th century building. It is made of half-timbering and is now six compartments long, which are plastered white. Originally it consisted of only four compartments, but after the removal of an artillery hit in 1946/47, it was expanded to six.

The little church has an open, simple vestibule. Under the protruding hall superstructure, there is a compartment at the back, the entrance with an older door and two side, wood-barred windows . A brick plinth runs underneath the whole building. The gable roof, which is broken three times on the back, is tiled and carries a rider with a bell, cross and cock in front .

As a good example of an old-fashioned Honnschaft chapel , it is worth protecting for reasons of folk and architectural history.
