Hermitage at Schaelsberg, Religious hermitage in Oud-Valkenburg, Netherlands.
The hermitage includes a white-painted marl chapel with a crow-stepped gable, flèche, and attached living quarters containing multiple rooms on different levels.
Built in 1688 for the lords of Schaloen Castle, the hermitage housed 16 successive hermits from Franciscan and Carthusian orders until 1930.
The Sjaasbergergank procession, initiated in 1758, leads to the hermitage and represents a significant element of Dutch intangible cultural heritage.
The site contains 14 stations of the cross arranged in a circular formation, with marl pedestals housing glass-encased lithographs around a central shrine.
Three small chapels from 1739 at the base of Schaesberg hill feature statues of Jesus, Mary, and John the Baptist dedicated to Saint Roch.
