Chapelle de Saint-Clément

The Saint Clement Chapel features a three-nave structure with a flat-roofed short nave, aligned transept, and circular apse following Romanesque principles.

Built during the second quarter of the 13th century, the chapel belonged to the Saint Clement parish under the ownership of Kornelimünster Abbey.

The chapel contains 14th-century frescoes in the choir and north aisle, displaying medieval artistic techniques and religious symbolism of the period.

The chapel stands near the old parish church and Saint Michael Chapel, making it part of a religious architectural complex open to visitors.

This religious structure represents the southernmost example of Lower Rhine architecture, incorporating trefoil windows and rosettes typical of Rhenish Romanesque style.
