Sieben-Schmerzen-Kapelle, Catholic chapel in Westerholter Wald, Germany
The Sieben-Schmerzen-Kapelle features white plastered walls, a pyramidal roof covered with tiles, and beveled corners in its quadratic structure.
Countess Henrika von Aschebroick zu Schönebeck established the chapel in 1723, followed by restoration work in 1948 after severe storm damage in 1940.
The chapel holds regular outdoor services and processions, including an annual hail procession on the second Sunday after Corpus Christi.
Visitors can access information about events, services, and the chapel's history through the official website at sieben-schmerzen-kapelle.de.
The Via Matris path next to the chapel displays seven granite steles with bronze reliefs depicting Mary's sorrows over 70 meters.
