Sint-Catharinakapel, Medieval church building in Lemiers, Netherlands

The Sint-Catharinakapel features Romanesque architecture with stone walls, a pointed roof, and a bell tower rising above the village landscape.

Built around 1200, the chapel underwent major renovations in 1648 by Georg von Stücker, with the year 1683 marked on the third truss.

Artist Hans Truijen painted the chapel walls in 1978, creating interior murals that contrast with the traditional exterior architecture.

The chapel maintains regular opening hours for visitors and operates guided tours that explain its architectural features and historical significance.

During World War II, local residents used the chapel tower as a hiding place from German forces during morning hours.
