Klusenkapelle St. Ägidius, Gothic church in Bredeney district, Essen, Germany.
The Klusenkapelle St. Ägidius features broken Ruhr sandstone construction with a slate-covered roof and a prominent bell tower at its summit.
The chapel's first documented mention dates to 1359, with records indicating an active priest serving the religious needs of the local community.
Two Gothic stained glass windows on the south wall display Engelbert I of Cologne alongside depictions of Saint Ægidius and the fourteen holy helpers.
The chapel underwent extensive renovation work in 2008 to maintain its structural integrity and preserve its historical elements for future generations.
Local tradition suggests the chapel's establishment was connected to a woman with leprosy who sought isolation in this location.
