Church
The Chapel of the Holy Cross dating from 1712 is located directly on the approximately 20 km long "Eifel-Camino" stage from Wittlich to Klausen.
The square Heiligkreuzkapelle, open on three sides, was built in 1712 by Conrad Wolff, a renowned master builder and stonemason from Wittlich. The curved dome of the chapel rests on the rear wall and two pillars which were placed on the surrounding parapet wall. Inside, a mighty predella, decorated with the representation of a lamentation in the Klausen style, rises above a high pedestal. Above it, a crucifixion group extends far into the roof truss.
