Rigal’sche Kapelle

The chapel features red brick construction with rounded arch facades, horizontal stone bands, and a rectangular floor plan extended by a curved apse.

Built between 1856 and 1858 as a private chapel for Baron Ludwig Maximilian von Rigal-Grunland, it became the first independent Protestant church in Godesberg.

The interior maintains its original Neo-Gothic furnishings from 1884-1888, including patron boxes in the side wings and traditional wooden seating arrangements.

Located at the intersection of Kurfürstenallee and Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse, the chapel serves Protestant congregations and the Regional Convent West of St. John's Brotherhood.

The chapel sustained artillery damage in March 1945, leading to the reconstruction of its roof turret between 1983 and 1985.
