Gezelinkapelle, Religious monument in Alkenrath, Leverkusen, Germany.

The Gezelinkapelle is a church building located in Alkenrath near Leverkusen, standing beside Schloss Morsbroich. Its interior holds a baroque altar dating from 1730 along with a wooden sculpture depicting Saint Gezelino.

A chapel existed by 1597, the date on its bronze bell, and was rebuilt in 1659 under Heinrich von Reuschenberg of the Teutonic Order, whose coat of arms appears on the facade. After secularisation in 1805 and decay, it was demolished in 1864 and rebuilt on the old foundations, blessed on 2 August 1868. The present appearance dates from a 1954 renovation.

The pilgrimage takes place on the Sunday after Corpus Christi, and the chapel with its spring beneath the altar is now often chosen for weddings and baptisms. Jobst Moritz von Droste-Senden, resident at Schloss Morsbroich from 1715 to 1754, promoted the veneration by holding a fair beside the chapel during the pilgrimage.

The chapel is located near Schloss Morsbroich and can be easily found in the neighborhood. Since it remains an active place of worship, visitors should be respectful and mindful of any services or prayers taking place.

A bronze bell cast in 1597 by the bell founder Kerstgen von Onckel hangs inside the chapel as a rare artifact from that era. This bell serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and religious importance of the site during the late Renaissance period.
