Ahekapelle, Gothic chapel in Nettersheim, Germany.
Ahekapelle is a Gothic chapel in Nettersheim featuring a late Gothic choir from the 16th century with external buttresses for support. The lower nave was added later during the 18th century.
The chapel dates to the late medieval period and was built on land that had been inhabited since Roman times. Archaeological findings reveal a long history of settlement and land use at this location.
The chapel is dedicated to Saint Servatius and draws pilgrims each year who participate in local processions. Visitors can sense its role as a pilgrimage destination for people from surrounding villages.
The chapel sits along several hiking trails, including segments of the Camino de Santiago, and offers a stamp station for pilgrims. Visitors can easily navigate the footpaths and trails that pass through the surrounding area.
The chapel stands as the sole surviving building from the former village of Ahe, which has since disappeared entirely. Its name comes from the Ahebach stream that has shaped the landscape for centuries.
