Chapel on the Gänsevöhde

Description

The Catholic Marienkapelle on the Gänsevöhde, also known as the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, is a listed church building in Werl in the district of Soest.
The pilgrimage to the Comforter of the Afflicted began in 1661. On the Gänsevöhde, the formerly public goose pasture and municipal festival meadow, the high mass of the annual large procession was celebrated for the first time in 1667. In 1673, the Paderborn cathedral canon Johann Heinrich von Gertzen, known as von Sintzig, donated a sum of 300 Reichsthaler for the construction of a chapel on the Gänsevöhde. The city of Werl provided the building site. The building was completed in 1680 according to a designation in the founder's coat of arms.
