Bruder Klaus Kapelle

Mechernich

The field chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas of the Flüe - called Brother Klaus - is a privately donated and built chapel, a place of silence, meditation and prayer. Anyone who visits them with this intention is very welcome. May many people find a way to God in this place!

The chapel is modelled on the hermitage of Brother Klaus and is therefore not suitable for large groups of visitors. Pilgrim groups with more than ten people are therefore requested to register in advance. The field chapel is not intended as a destination for people interested exclusively in architecture. The field chapel can only be reached on foot in 10 to 15 minutes via a slightly ascending path. Parking for cars is only possible in the signposted car park on the outskirts of Wachendorf in the direction of Lessenich
