Marienkapelle Burtscheid, Romanesque Revival chapel in Burtscheid, Germany
The Marienkapelle stands at the intersection of Gregorstraße and Berdoletstraße, featuring a hexagonal design with a two-story main section and smaller tower.
Built in 1643 by monk Peter Kerchof and Abbess Henrietta Raitz von Frenz, the chapel replaced its original wooden structure with brick construction in 1697.
The interior contains four frescoes and two wall paintings depicting Christian themes, with a gallery surrounded by wrought iron craftsmanship.
Seven stone sculptures known as the Seven Footfalls of Burtscheid mark the path from Burtscheid Abbey to the Marienkapelle.
After World War II, this small chapel served as an emergency church when the main parish church of St. Johann sustained extensive damage.
