Kapelle St. Reinoldi, Medieval chapel in Rupelrath, Solingen, Germany

Kapelle St. Reinoldi is a stone church building with a simple layout consisting of a main nave, choir, and apse. The distinctive bell tower on the portal side is covered with slate tiles and defines the structure's appearance.

The chapel's origin is unknown; the apse dates from around 1400, making it Solingen's second-oldest surviving building, and the choir was added at the end of the 15th century. In 1718 the chapel was rebuilt, reusing some old masonry but constructing the portal side entirely anew. After the 1672 Kleve religious settlement it passed to the Protestant community.

The chapel's name recalls St Reinoldus, a patron also invoked against plague, and local legend ties its founding to the Cologne Cathedral builders. Inside, wall paintings from around 1500, probably by a Cologne workshop, were whitewashed by 1718 and uncovered in 1951; they show the Last Judgment, St Barbara and St Catherine with a sword.

Access to the chapel is normally possible, but opening times can be limited, so it is wise to check in advance. The immediate surroundings with the cemetery invite a quiet visit where you can also view the older gravestones.

On the cemetery grounds stands a discarded church bell, and a double gravestone dated 1708 and 1719 bears the house mark of the Dickes family. The oldest stone, from 1702, belongs to the cemetery that surrounds the chapel, not to the building itself.
