St.-Anna-Kapelle, Heritage church in Weiden, Kürten, Germany.
St.-Anna-Kapelle is a small church building in Weiden constructed with broken stones and featuring a portal inscribed with the year 1708. Inside are two modern windows created by artist Franz Toenniges that depict holy figures.
A major fire in 1836 led to complete reconstruction of the chapel, giving it its present form. The structure survived bombing raids in 1945 with minimal damage and endured the wartime period.
The chapel functions as a place of worship where visitors can see handcrafted windows depicting holy figures created by a local artist. Inside, the simple construction and quiet setting create a reflective space that draws both the faithful and those curious about religious art.
The chapel sits on Kölner Straße and is easily accessible, with its simple exterior visible from the street. A visit requires no special preparation and visitors can view the interior and windows during daylight hours.
The chapel sat along an ancient trade route called the hehren Weg, where travelers and merchants stopped to seek protection and blessing. This path connected regions and made the location a vital resting point for people on journeys.
