Chapel of the Seven Sorrows of Mary - Eupen

The chapel was built in 1707.

It was dedicated to the sorrowful Mother, to whom the inhabitants of Kettenis offer their intentions in a solemn procession every year in September . A stone in the walls of the stone building (in the gable opposite Nispert and Kettenis) commemorates with chiseled initials the founders, the couple Hubert Raermecker and Catharina Burgers. In 1837 and 1838 the chapel was enlarged and the choir space expanded. This can still be seen today on the keystone of the bluestone arch above the entrance and on the side of the choir.

Particularly striking is a relief panel in the front of the chapel, depicting Veronica with the sweat cloth of Jesus . Of the original furniture, only the baroque oak altar remains.
