Wallfahrtskapelle Telgte, Baroque pilgrimage chapel in Telgte, Germany
The hexagonal chapel features Corinthian columns at each corner, supporting a central dome with three entry doorways beneath von Galen's coat of arms.
Construction of the chapel commenced in 1654 under Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen, with completion and consecration occurring in July 1657.
The chapel houses the Telgter Gnadenbild, a lime wood Pietà from 1370, which remains the central focus of religious devotion and pilgrimage activities.
