Roskapellchen

The Roskapellchen features a distinctive hexagonal whitewashed brick structure with limestone reinforcements and decorated double-winged doors with intricate ironwork detailing.

Built between 1758 and 1759, this chapel replaced an earlier pictorial column that contained a statue of Mary from the early 16th century.

The chapel houses a wooden altar from the 19th century with a central figure of Mother Mary and Jesus, drawing religious visitors throughout the year.

The chapel received modern illumination installations in 2013 through local community funding initiatives and maintains regular visiting hours for prayers.

During World War II, while the chapel structure sustained heavy damage, the revered statue of Mary remained completely intact within the building.
