Lady Chapel

The chapel, protected as a historic monument, was constructed according to the plans of the Düsseldorf architect Caspar Clemens Pickel. It is one of the few completely preserved examples of neo-Gothic church architecture. Pickel created his only realized central building here, and he succeeded in creating a total work of art, as he was able to determine the planning and execution of the construction as well as the design of the complete furnishings. The architect had previously designed the portals, church pews, and the pulpit of the parish church of St. Johannes in Adenau between 1890 and 1893, and due to his good connections to the parish community, he was commissioned to build the Marian chapel.
