This chapel is the oldest chapel in Eslohe. The interior can only be viewed through a window. There is a very well-kept area for a break and wonderful views of the surrounding area.

The panorama is now (June 2025) almost completely overgrown. Nevertheless, it's a nice resting place, as the panoramic photos taken shortly after Kyrill still give an impression of how the view could have been enjoyed in 2021.

Very well-kept chapel (no wayside shrine) with an external bell tower. Two wooden benches next to the bell tower and in the shade of a tree invite you to take a contemplative rest.
